Easy Kerala Parotta

INGREDIENTS :

1. Maida - 2 cups
2. Salt to taste
3. Lukewarm water to make the dough
4. Oil

METHOD :

1. Combine all the ingredients together just like making chappati dough. Keep aside for about an hour, covered with a wet cloth.
2. Divide the dough into 10 - 12 equal sized balls ( slightly smaller than a tennis ball)
3. Slightly grease with oil the surface on which the dough is to be rolled on.
4. Place one portion of dough on the oiled surface and apply little oil on it.
5. Roll out the portion, making it as thin as possible. (It may break as you try to roll it thin; that's not a problem)
6. Then holding one end of the rolled out dough, rotate it like a spiral to form a round ball.
7. Repeat the same with the remaining dough. Set aside & keep covered with a wet cloth for around 10 mins.
8. Heat a pan until medium hot.
9. Roll out each portion into small, slightly thick rotis; using a little oil if needed.
10. Cook each side till slightly brown with a little oil & repeat with the remaining dough.
11. When 3-4 parotta's are done, place them on a flat surface in between both the hands & beat the hands together in a gesture like clapping ( this is just to get layers)
