Re: HOW TO MAKE pakistani parathey

that link show u how to make triangle shaped parahtas...interesting.....
i usually roll out a pera into a thick circle. Add butter to it. then i close one flap on the edge and add more ghee/butter to it. sprinkle flour. then i flip over the other edge to make a long folded thing...stretch it out a little add ghee/flour and then roll it into a pera again by twisting it around. Then lightly roll it out without much pressure n cook, u have a nice layered crispy/yet fluffy parahtha. Wish i had patience to take pics of the steps.

@Aisha Dubaiwali

I am not taking the micky out of yew. Plus eating natural is always more healthy than substitutes for natural things. I suggest you get off eating margarine or even take margarine in moderation. Paratha does not need that much ghee otherwise it will not be CRISPY on both sides, use a little bit but use natural ghee. :)

Aishaji, gheee may be natural but is is still 100% saturated fats, the kind that coats your arteries wirh plaque. Have you ever tried using just canola or olive oil to make your parathas. I would really like to see a double blind test to find out if people can distinguish the two kinds of parathas (ones made with olive oil, another with ghee).

Re: HOW TO MAKE pakistani parathey

This is the way my mom makes parathay…

1, 2. make the pera as normal, and dust it with some atta, as shown in pict

3. cover the roti with butter…we use butter..not mg..
   

4. make two small peras, half the size of the big pera and cover it
   

5. cover it again with butter
   

6, 7. roll it up

8. and make it into a ball
   

I wish i could explain after that what happens, but I haev never made a roti much less a paratha. I just hope this was SOMEWHAT helpful.

Re: HOW TO MAKE pakistani parathey

Make a soft dough with flour, salt, sugar and oil. Leave it in fridge for 2 hours. Take it out and divide into equal parts, roll out each, spread some Ghee, make it into a roll and round then flatten it out with hand. Thin out the paratha with rolling pin to make sure the paratha isn't too thick and then cook it on griddle with some ghee on medium heat. Tadaa!

Re: HOW TO MAKE pakistani parathey

To those who think you shouldn’t add oil/ghee into the raw dough: If you do, it results in a more flaky paratha.

I can’t make rotis that well, but i make some mean parathay…

Re: HOW TO MAKE pakistani parathey

whts the dif b/w a normal paratha n pakistani paratha…

[Masi_Museebtay]

and the best tip, the more your knead it the better and softer the roti's will come out... I usually knead for about 10-15 minutes , occasionally using wet hands ...

You can save the effort by this tip...just when the atta forms into a ball..just touch it up with little water by wet hands and leave to stand for 5 mins or so...and then knead it.......It takes minimal effort after wards, just few strokes to reach that nice consistency .

Re: HOW TO MAKE pakistani parathey

Sara this is the first time I’ve seen paratha made this way. I wish I had seen this few days later…closer to weekend(my paratha day)..now I have to try it first thing in the morning:sigh: ..and all the *gunah *goes to you

[sweefs]

@Chicken_Biryani

Nadz , some people add oil or ghee in the dough material whilst kneading it and then make the prathas … but I will share with you the way i make them ..

Knead a soft dough … then take one “pera” ( peice of the dough enough for one paratha)
roll it in a long strip.. flatten that strip with your fingers , add ghee or margarine and sprinkle a bit of dry ata on top , then start closing the ends ( it should look like a margarine filled strip )

Then swirl the strip in a around pera using your hands… using a roller pin, roll out the paratha evenly… then on the tawa , spread some ghee , put the paratha on the tawa… wait a few seconds then before turning sides , spread some more ghee on the top of the paratha … turn sides until nicely roasted … Enjoy your paratha

that’s EXACTLY how my mum does. I tried it…so wrong :no:

But it’s filled with soooo much butter and ghee…just oozing out of it. :hinna:

Re: HOW TO MAKE pakistani parathey

Sweefi, you gotta make sure you only put little butter on each layer … if you put lots on each layer then defo its gonna be oozing out :saharo2:

The best and the flakiest pratha i have experienced is the square paratha , I dunno, maybe its the way its made that it comes out extremely nice ,flaky and crispy…

MM, thanks so much for that tip, I will try it inshallah next time i kill myself kneading aata:cb:
