Ingredients:

2 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp. water
3 Tbsp. oil
1 tsp. salt


Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Sieve the flour in a flat dish, add 1/4 cup water, mix well and knead into a soft dough. Knead for 15 minutes, gradually adding another 1/4 cup water. Add the 2 Tbsp. of water and set aside for 1/2 hour or more. Knead the dough again for 10 minutes and divide it into 6 equal balls.

Flatten each one and roll it out into a flat disc about 5 inches diameter, smear the roti with a little oil and fold it into a semi-circle. Smear some more oil over the upper surface and fold it a second time. Double fold it lengthways, press it gently with your fingers and rol it into a round circle, making the edge thinner than the centre. Place it on a hot tava, turn it over once and smear it with oil again. Cook for few seconds, turn over again and smear the other side with oil as well.
Cook it for a few more seconds until the paratha is golden brown on both sides. Serve hot with any vegetable or dal.
