1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
2
Add Water
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, mixing with your fingers or a spoon until it starts to come together.
3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4
Rest the Dough
Form the dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

5
Divide the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball.
6
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, take one portion of dough and flatten it slightly. Roll it out into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
7
Add Ghee or Oil
Brush a thin layer of ghee or oil on the surface of the rolled-out dough.
8
Fold the Dough
Fold the dough in half, creating a semi-circle. Brush more ghee or oil on the surface and fold it again to form a triangle shape.
9
Roll the Triangle
Gently roll the triangle out into a larger circle, about 7-8 inches in diameter.
10
Cook the Paratha
Heat a tawa or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
11
Add Ghee or Oil Again
Flip the paratha and brush with ghee or oil. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden.
12
Repeat
Remove the cooked paratha and keep it warm in a covered container. Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
