What are Parathas
Parathas, a staple in many Indian homes, are soft, thin, and flaky flatbread that can be eaten for breakfast lunch, or dinner. Plain parathas are mainly made with whole wheat flour that is kneaded using salt, oil, and water. The dough is then rolled and cooked on a hot griddle with some ghee or oil until both sides get golden brown spots. Stuffed parathas on the other hand have a combination of savory filling in them like these Aloo Parathas and Palak Paneer Parathas. To make parathas vegan, simply replace the ghee with any cooking oil and you have a vegan version of the parathas. ★ Have you tried this recipe?

Warm a griddle over medium-high heat. Once the griddle is hot, carefully place the rolled-out paratha on the surface and cook until the bottom of the paratha turns lighter than the uncooked top, about 1 minute. With a flat spatula, flip the paratha and top it with ghee, spreading it evenly over the surface with the back of the spoon. Cook the second side until it turns light brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the paratha and top it with ghee, spreading it evenly over the surface. Cook until light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently press the paratha with the spatula to help the paratha cook evenly; be sure to press gently for a soft, flaky paratha. Once both sides get spotty golden brown, transfer the paratha to a plate. Note: Please check the video for visual details.
Repeat with the remaining dough pieces, oil, and ghee. While one paratha is cooking you can start to roll the next. Enjoy warm!
