Why Use Desi Ghee for Parathas?

✅ Enhances Flavor – Desi ghee gives parathas a rich, nutty taste.
✅ Boosts Nutrition – Contains healthy fats, aiding digestion and energy.
✅ Promotes Gut Health – Helps maintain a healthy metabolism.
✅ Adds Flakiness – Ghee creates soft, crispy, and perfectly layered parathas.

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 3/4 cup water (or as needed)
• 2 tablespoons EatSmart Pure Desi Ghee (for dough)
• Extra EatSmart.pk Desi Ghee (for cooking)

Step-by-Step Recipe:

1. Prepare the Dough

1. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of whole wheat flour and salt (optional).
2. Add 2 tablespoons of EatSmart Desi Ghee and rub it into the flour.
3. Gradually add water and knead until you get a soft, pliable dough.
4. Cover and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes to enhance texture.

2. Roll Out the Parathas

1. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
2. Roll out each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.
3. Apply a thin layer of desi ghee, then fold into a square or triangle to create flaky layers.
4. Roll it out again gently, keeping the layers intact.

3. Cook the Parathas

1. Heat a tawa (flat pan) on medium heat.
2. Place the paratha on the tawa and cook for 30-40 seconds until bubbles form.
3. Flip and apply 1 teaspoon of EatSmart Desi Ghee, spreading evenly.
4. Cook both sides until golden brown, pressing gently for crispiness.
