Cookd masalas for maida
Method
In a mixing bowl, add maida, salt, sugar and water.
Combine the flour and mix it to form a dough.
Knead the dough for 15 minutes by continuously folding the dough.
Add 1 tbsp of oil on dough and rest for 60 minutes.
Divide the dough and make individual 2-inch dough balls.
Add 2 tbsp of oil on the dough balls and rest for 30 minutes.
Take a dough ball and flatten as thin as possible by forming a large circle. Apply oil on the spread dough.
Gather rolled dough in one corner and make a spiral. Repeat for all the dough balls.
Roll the spiralled dough using a pin or flatten it into a 3-4 inch circle using hands.
Heat a Tawa, place the flattened parotta on the Tawa. Add oil. Cook on a medium flame for 2 mins and flip. Cook the other side for 2 mins.
By tapping the sides of the parotta right after it is cooked will fluff up the parotta.
Repeat this for all the Parotta. Serve it hot.
