Instructions
 

KNEAD DOUGH FOR LAUKI PARATHA

  • Add all the ingredients to a large bowl. Mix well. Gradually add water and bind the dough into a firm dough. Apply a teaspoon of oil, cover, and let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes.
    Note: As the dough rests, it will become soft due to the moisture from the lauki.

ROLL LAUKI PARATHA

  • Knead the dough again a couple of times. Divide the dough into 10-12 equal portions, and shape it into balls. Keep it aside.
  • Take a ball, and dust it with some flour. Place the ball on a rolling surface, and with the help of a rolling pin, roll the ball into a 7-8 inch circle.

COOK LAUKI PARATHA

  • Heat the Tawa / Griddle. Place the rolled paratha on the tawa, and cook it over medium heat.
  • Drizzle some Ghee/oil as needed and cook on both sides. Gently press the thepla with a spatula for even cooking.
  • Place the paratha in a food warmer lined with a paper towel or a tea towel.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
  • Enjoy lauki paratha with Tomato Chutney, yogurt, Homemade Strawberry Jam, or a piping hot cup of tea.
