Recipe Description

Arabi Paratha is a soft and flaky flatbread popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. Made with a simple dough enriched with ghee or butter, this paratha is often paired with savory curries, tangy dips, or even enjoyed on its own with a sprinkle of sugar for a sweet twist. It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or butter (melted)
  • 3/4 cup water (or as needed)
  • 1/4 cup ghee or oil (for cooking)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
  • Add melted ghee and rub it into the flour until crumbly.
  • Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Shape the Parathas

  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll them into balls.
  • Roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
  • Brush a thin layer of ghee on the rolled dough, fold it in half, and then fold it again to form a triangle. Roll it out gently to flatten.

Step 3: Cook the Parathas

  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Place a paratha on the hot skillet and cook for about 1 minute until bubbles form.
  • Flip the paratha, brush ghee or oil on the surface, and cook for another minute.
  • Flip again, apply ghee on the other side, and cook until golden brown and flaky.

Step 4: Serve

  • Serve hot with curry, chutney, or yogurt.
