Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • Salt
  • water for dough
  • For filling:
  • 3/4 cup tightly packed mint leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon amchur powder
  • ghee+ wheat flour for layers
  • salt
  • Butter for frying parathas

Instructions

  • Take wheat flour, salt and oil in a mixing bowl.
  • Mix well.
  • Add water little by little and make a soft, pliable dough. Knead well and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • At the time of making pudina paratha, lets get the filling prepared. Wash and roughly chop the mint leaves. Quickly dry roast in the tava for 1 minute.
  • Take the roasted mint leaves in a plate. Add salt, amchur powder and cumin powder. Mix well and set aside for few minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and set aside.
  • Divide the dough into 6-7 equal balls. Take one ball and roll out to a thin circle.
  • Apply some ghee over the rolled circle. Sprinkle some wheat flour and spread well.
  • Now sprinkle the prepared mint mixture all over the rolled dough. Do not over stuff.
  • Now start pleating the disc from the oppostie edge just like saree pleating. We call this as visiri madippu in Tamil.
  • Roll the pleated dough into a circle. Press and join the edges. Heat a iron griddle/tava now.
  • Now roll this again into a disc. layers will be slightly visible now.
  • Place the rolled disc on the hot griddle and cook till completely done from both sides. Apply butter generously while cooking.
  • Once done, the parathas will be crispy. Serve pudina paratha hot with raita. The layers will be more visible once the parathas are torn.
