Paratha (Indian Flatbread) Recipe by Manjula

[stephania197111]

Namaste Manjula,

Can Paratha be kept in the fridge? how long for?

Thank you

[aalsuwaidi09]

Can I use normal flour?

Thanks!

[TheMissLeo]

Came out perfectly thank you. Also if they come out crunchy you cooked too long. They are really quick 10-15 seconds or so then flip. Anyone know what indian bread has the crushed garlic in middle that they cook against a stone wall type of thing? Had it at an indian resturant that showed me how it was done but forgot the name of it.

[brasiliangal]

Keep up the good work

[Xrin5]

you are amazing!!

[pimjaiva]

[lisa16186]

hi manjula, why do you put so much oil when kneading/rolling/cooking the paratha ? does it taste different from chapati ? thanks.

[mrsmojet1]

can you use all purpose flour if you have wholewheat?

[nikkione1580]

I used to always buy from indian restaurants. Now thanks to your videos me as a native indian I can make on my own. Thank you and you tube ;)

[kituszka5]

What is the difference between paratha and chapatti?

Could you please post a video on how to make flaky multi-layered parathas

[Madalanda101]

Whats the difference between a chapati and a paratha?

[bravoperezana]

hi manjula! this is a great video for me, because I like to do this paratha for my child, I am from Mexico but my child just love this kind of tortilla, so I want to know what kind the flour (the name) I need to buy PLEASE!. and THANK YOU for show us your greats recepes we really enjoy it.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@bravoperezana

I use whole-wheat flour mostly Laxmi or Sujata brand many others are available you can buy from Indian grocery store.

[augten12321]

@bravoperezana

The paratha is the indian version of the mexican tortilla.

[kumbhaka]

what is the difference between paratha and roti? I saw another video made by you with Roti and except the oil the recipe is practically the same isn't it? except the oil is there any other difference? thank you

[Manjulaskitchen]

@kumbhaka

Difference is oil and cooking method.

[LovedByMeBeautifully]

hello Aunty Manjula. I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of pan are you using in this video. Is it Calphalon or Circulon please? Thank you kindly.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@LovedByMeBeautifully

I am using Circulon

[texichan]

hi manjula! lovely video :) i was wondering - is your dry flour also atta flour or something else like besan?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@texichan

Dry flour is atta flour

[spacemonkey2382]

hi Manjula, i just made this, turned out perfect ! amazing recipe -- will help me in my student days as its very cheap tp make . My mum has been doing it wrong all her life , she was shocked when she saw them

[dona123ish]

hello aunty..I just wanted to know if it is mandatory to use iron skillet..can i make paratha or rotis in nonstick skillet?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@dona123ish

Nonstick skillet will work fine.

[hiltondilton]

aunty jee never mind but this is the smallest pratha I've ever seen(BABY PRATHA )I wud like to eat a huge one!!

[mrsinghisking2005]

Hi Manjula aunty, Please accept my warm regards and thank you so much for uploading these wonderful recipes!

[queenbunny76]

How long have you been making the paratha?

[AbstractMan23]

what is "dry flour" and what is the reason for folding the dough like that?

thanks - looks really nice!!

[masterraj1]

This has made me hungry now.

[queenbunny76]

When you were kneeding the dough and before you added the oil I noticed that the dough was not sticking to your hands why is that?

[laidtotoxicwaste]

Hi Manjula Aunty, is it possible to OVER knead chapati/roti/paratha dough? Also, how can you make sure they come out soft and chewy, and not hard? Thanks!

[Manjulaskitchen]

@laidtotoxicwaste

I dont know what you mean by over kneading the dough it is always good if dough is knead well so it is soft not sticky to your fingers. When you are rolling the paratha do not use too much dry flour and do not cook paratha on low heat.

[dustinsnowbear]

Thanks for sharing. :-) I really enjoyed learning your style for rolling out the bread. I want to try to make this too.

[celofyz]

great thx for this video!! i just made parathas n they are incredible! very easy (even though mine were not so perfectly round..) The recipe is really really good..

[as4208]

You are the best!!

I love to watch ur videos!!

Keep posting..:-)

[Euterperocks]

Oh, how wonderful! I have experience making Mediterranean style flatbreads but I have never dared attempt to tackle Paratha before. It's my favorite Indian bread. Now that you have shown us so beautifully how it is done I am ready to try it myself. Many thanks for your patience and for sharing your skill with such kindness!

[akashshah1907]

aunty apko dekh ke mummy ki bohat yaad aa rahi he

[Rigpa7]

I learn so much from all your videos. Thank you, Manjula Ji!

[Ellililalou]

Thank You Auntie! I'm going to try this this afternoon for some friends...with Aloo Gobi. Looks delicious as always.

[kaisaselfan]

That looks delicious. I've always wanted to know how flatbreads are made. :)

[marinamermaid]

This video brought back many happy memories of waking up in India, to the scent of freshly made parathas. I've been buying them frozen, no more! Thanks to you, I can now make them from scratch!

[mandyx4z]

Excellent vid! Thank you from Trinidad!

[MissMinkyTheOriginal]

Hi Manjula and everyone!

What is the difference between ROTI and PARATHAS?

Manjula I love your recipes and you are beautiful!

[kevmalone]

Roti is a general term for breads. Paratha is a specific type of Roti.

[tongadek]

i have tried making them for years and this time i got it right.thank you mama

[ElectrifyingHuman]

Auntie Thank you, sooooooooo much! Just love ur show! Respect!

[SDonwerth]

We love this one!!!

[srkzfan]

love you, manjala! :)

[lcooke]

Can't wait to make this! Are they ok with plain white flour? Also, I love your tiny rolling pin :)

[Manjulaskitchen]

This should be done with whole wheat flour.

[ccm800]

Hi Manjula - Maybe one day you can just give a little speech as to how and why you started this wonderful series. Thank you for your efforts.

[featheredpines]

Thank you for clear and simple instructions and video! The most beautiful food is often the most simple :)

[radhika117]

I usually make this process for chapathi...

[adli2006]

Thank you for the instructions Manjula!

[tubbydammer]

These are my favourite and now I know how to make them for myself. Thanks!

[Ellililalou]

[hotncool008]

i learned something new today.

[beethovensong]

yummy. can't wait to try this :)

[rybo510]

Thank you!

[sheerbeauty]

So, no oil is used in the cooking?

[snowblazer12]

since theres some flour on the surface the dough wouldnt stick onto the pan =3

[sapnanaresh06]

I was wonderin what brand dough did you use to make the parathas..cuz some of the brands here (US) make the rotis quite stretchy..

[Manjulaskitchen]

I use Laxmi whole wheat

[mhuriel15]

oh Bhagwan... ek dam mast... bahut bahut bahut badhiyaaaaaa

[reenachitra]

i do exactly the same consistency everything but i always end up eating rotis so hard like papad. huh which brand do u use? i use sujatha

[Manjulaskitchen]

I have been using Laxmi whole wheat.

[strive4balance]

I was wondering if you ever cook outdoors like on a grill or fire?

[appleseeds12]

Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to making this!

[candy1974309]

nice video thanks for sharing

[Manjulaskitchen]

just whole-wheat.

[PuffLitenDrage]

looks yum!

[joshryker]

It's interesting to see how many different kinds of bread there are in Indian cuisine. I like this wheat version, it seems to be healthier than some others, like naan.

[tennisdiva]

you put so much love in your food. its great :)
