Instructions
- Dry roast the phool makhana in a pan until they turn slightly golden and crunchy. Let them cool, then crush them into a coarse powder.
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, crushed phool makhana, and salt. Mix well.
- Add water gradually and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Dust the rolling surface with flour and roll out each ball into a flat circle (parantha).
- Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled parantha on the tawa.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, applying oil as needed, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve hot with chutney or yogurt.
Tips
- Ensure the phool makhana is roasted well for better flavor.
