Ingredients & Substitutions
Using whole wheat flour gives the paratha a beautiful nutty flavor, but you can also mix in some all-purpose flour if you prefer a softer texture. Olive oil keeps it light, but feel free to use any neutral oil you like. Spices are optional but can elevate your paratha game!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my dough covered with a damp cloth while I roll out each paratha to prevent it from drying out.
- •For an extra special touch, try adding mashed potatoes or spiced lentils as a filling before rolling them out.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll toss in some chopped spinach or grated carrots into the dough for a bit of color and nutrition.
- •You could also make a sweet version by adding a bit of cinnamon and coconut sugar to the dough.
Storage & Freezing
These parathas are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them on a skillet before serving!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can try a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, but the texture might be a bit different. Just make sure it has xanthan gum included!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. If you’re using spices, add them in here too for an extra flavor kick.
- 2
Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and water gradually, mixing with your hands or a fork until a dough forms.
- 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. It should feel soft but not sticky.
- 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 20 minutes. This helps the gluten relax.
- 5
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- 6
On a floured surface, flatten a dough ball with your palm, then roll it out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- 7
Spread a thin layer of vegan vegan butter or oil on top of the rolled dough, then fold it in half to form a semi-circle.
- 8
Spread more vegan vegan butter on the top of the semi-circle, then fold it again to create a triangle.
- 9
Roll the triangle out again to about 6-7 inches wide, being careful not to press too hard on the edges.
- 10
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the rolled paratha on it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and you see light brown spots.
- 11
Brush a little more vegan vegan butter on top while it’s cooking for extra flavor. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- 12
Serve warm with your favorite vegan curry or enjoy with some avocado or chutney!
