Ingredients

Serves 4

30 minutes mins

1 cup Kohinoor Tarka Dal
1 1/2 cup wholewheat flour
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/4 cup thick yoghurt
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tbsp coriander leaves
25g melted butter

Method

In a large bowl, mix together the Tarka dal, flour, chilli powder, yoghurt, turmeric, ground coriander, cumin, garam masala, and chopped fresh coriander with salt.
Mix to form a smooth dough. If the dough is too liquid slowly add some extra flour and knead until smooth..
Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a flat large frying pan whilst you make the paratha.
Take medium sized balls of the dough and roll it out, using flour on surfaces so the dough doesn’t stick.
Roll the dough into a 7cm cirlc and brush on some melted butter over the surface.
Fold the left hand side and right hand side inwards until the edges touch.
Fold the top and the bottom sides inwards until the edges all touch in the middle and the shape resembles a square.
Sprinkle a little more flour and roll out the paratha as thinly as possible.
Place the paratha on the hot frying pan using the butter to gently fry.
Continue the folding and frying process until all the dough is used up.
Serve with the remaining Kohinoor Tarka Dal and raita.
