- 1 tsp Pepper ground, black
- 1 tsp Curry Powder
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine corn flour, whole wheat flour, black pepper, curry powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Gradually add yogurt and water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Add more water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions.
Roll and Cook the Paratha
- Take one portion of dough and roll it into a thin, circular shape using a rolling pin.
- Lightly brush the rolled dough with oil.
- Fold the circle in half, then in half again to form a quarter-circle.
- Roll out this smaller shape into a larger circle again.
- Repeat the folding and rolling process two more times for a layered effect.
Cook the Paratha
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Apply more oil as needed to prevent sticking.
Serve
- Serve the Makai Paratha hot with a dollop of plain yogurt and your favorite pickles.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Makai Paratha
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) to the dough.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of ghee or oil for extra richness and softness.
- Don't overcook the paratha; it should be golden brown and slightly puffed up.
- For a crispier paratha, cook it on medium-high heat.
