Instructions

1. 1

   --- Prepare the Dough ---

2. 2

   In a stand mixer, add the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, salt, and warm water or milk.

3. 3

   Mix and knead until you get a soft and smooth dough. You can also knead the dough by hand if you prefer.

4. 4

   Let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes. This helps make the parathas soft and easy to roll.

5. 5

   After resting, divide the dough into equal portions. Each ball should be slightly smaller than a golf ball.

   --- Triangle Paratha Rolling Technique ---

8. 8

   Take one dough ball and dust it lightly with dry flour. Roll it into a 4-inch circle.

9. 9

   Drizzle or brush about 1 teaspoon of ghee on top and sprinkle some dry flour.

10. 10

    Fold the circle in half to form a semi-circle. Brush one side of the semi-circle with ghee again and sprinkle a little flour.

11. 11

    Fold it once more to form a triangle.

12. 12

    Dust the triangle with flour and gently roll it out to 4–5 inches, keeping it about 1/8 inch thick. Parathas are usually rolled a bit thicker than rotis to give that nice, hearty texture.
