Ingredients                  

  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves (pudina) 
  • ½ cup chopped fresh mint leaves (pudina)            
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) + for dusting 
  • 1 teaspoon salt     
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Oil for applying
  • Pickle to serve
  • Yogurt to serve                        

Method 

  1. Put whole wheat flour and salt into a large bowl, add chopped mint leaves and ¾ cup water and knead into a stiff dough. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 20-25 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, dry roast ½ cup mint leaves on a non-stick tawa till crisp. Allow to cool and crush them coarsely between your palms.  
  3. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into balls.
  4. Roll out each ball into a medium chapatti and smear ½ tablespoon butter and sprinkle flour. Fold the chapatti like a fan and twist it back into the form of a ball.  Rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Dust some flour and roll out each ball into a parantha.  Heat the same non-stick tawa and cook the paranthas, one at a time, applying a little oil, till both the sides are evenly light golden.
  6. Sprinkle the dried and crushed mint leaves on the paranthas and crush between your palms. Place them on serving plates and serve with yogurt and pickle of your choice.
