Namak Mirch ke Paranthe

Story:
This is a really tasty brunch item that I learned from my friend Divya.. I went to Divya's place after work one day and I was really hungry.. we were chatting over a cup of tea.. and Divya offered me garam garam parathe.. proper layer wale, loaded with ghee etc etc paranthe..

I was completely impressed by the simple recipe and the fresh namkeen taste.. also, I learned a new way of making parantha with layers... so here it is..

My friend - Divya Singhal

Time: 1/2 hour

Ingredients:
  • Aata - roti wala
  • Namak,
  • Mirchi powder

Recipe:
Make a roti out of the aata.. and spread oil on the roti, sprinkle namak, mirchi powder, jeera powder. A pinch of ajwain on top. Mix the spices on the roti with hand.

Roll the roti from both sides as shown in the pictures:

Make a chakali like shape out of the rolled roti:
