Ingredients
75g self raising flour
50g The Groovy Food Company Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
Pinch of sea salt
Plain yoghurt
Extra flour for dusting
Directions:
- Place the flour in a large mixing bowl with a good pinch of sea salt
- Add enough yoghurt to form a medium-soft dough
- Knead for 5 minutes, then wrap in cling film and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- When nice and chilled, dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough out into one large rectangle.
- With a spoon, spread the coconut oil over the dough, then fold the dough back in on itself so that you have four sealed ends and the coconut oil is all contained inside.
- Chill the dough to set the oil for about 5 minutes, then carefully roll it out again, this time just folding it back. By doing this, you are mixing layers of the oil through the bread.
- Chill again and repeat once more.
- Once the dough is nice and cold and firm, divide the mixture into two and roll out one piece into a circle about 15cm/5-inches in diameter.
- Heat a heavy frying pan until hot, adding a little coconut oil, then add a paratha and cook for about 1 minute.
- Continue to cook as above for a total of 1-2 minutes, turning frequently. Repeat with the second paratha. Serve hot.
