Instructions
For the Paratha Roti
- Start by adding 300g of Flour into a bowl.
- Add Salt to taste.
- Add 2 tbsp of Coconut Oil.

- While adding Water slowly, mix and form the dough.
- Make sure to mix for at least 7 to 8 minutes, that way we can form a soft dough which is the correct consistency we want.
- After forming the dough, cover and set aside for 8 to 10 minutes.
- After letting the dough rest, rub some Coconut Oil on a preparation board where we will shape the dough.
- Break the dough into smaller round pieces.
- Now take a dough ball, rub some Coconut Oil, and then flatten it thin by hand on the preparation board.
- Now fold the dough into quarters until you get a square shape.
- Flatten the square dough piece again using a rolling pin. Add Flour as you need to prevent sticking.
- Heat some Oil in a saucepan that we will use to toast each of the square pieces which is our Paratha Roti.
- Place the Paratha square piece and toast it and repeat with each of the Paratha pieces.
