Kasuri Methi Layered Parota

Learnt it from Jaya TV

I have never tried Parota because the process is very tedious Now I should say big thanks to Ms.Revathi Shanmugam who demonstrated a simplified method
I modified the recipe here and there

Ingredients

• Wheat - 1 cup
• Kasuri Methi - 1 tablespoon
• Chilly Powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - as required
• Water - as required
• Whaet flour - little for dusting
• Butter - little (I used Trans Fat free butter)

Method

• Mix all the dry ingredients together first
• Add water little by little and make a soft dough

Rolling

• Make small balls from the dough
• Take a small ball and flatten it
• Spread little butter over it and sprinkle little wheat flour
• Fold it alternatively like saree pleats

• Encircle it (like hair bun)

Making Parotas

• Now flatten it once more
• Heat a Tava and put the parota in it
• Cook well on both the sides.No need to add oil

Yummy Parotas are ready.Serve it with any side dish of your choice

Note
In Original version

• Addition of 2 tablespoons of ghee while kneading the dough
• Does not include chilly powder while kneading
• Uses maida flour for dusting
• Ghee / Oil is spread over the flattened dough I used butter here
