Triangle Paratha/Trigone Paratha - Triangular shaped layered flatbreads made with whole wheat flour and smeared with ghee. Parathas are made either plain or stuffed. Plain parathas can be triangular shaped, square or circle. Stuffed parathas contain mixed vegetables or lentils as the mixture sandwiched between two rotis. Plain Parathas are thicker than the rotis, prepared by folding repeatedly the thinly rolled out roti and cooke in the tawa.
How to make:
Take atta in a wide-mouthed bowl. I'm using aashirvaad atta. Add water, salt, and little ghee and knead into a soft dough. Allow resting for 30 minutes. Roll out into chapatis. Smear ghee over the rolled-out chapathi and dust some flour, now fold into a semicircle. Again, smear ghee over the semi-circle, dust some flour, and fold again into a quarter circle. Dust some flour, roll out in the shape of a triangle. you can cut the parathas in the shape of a triangle if you like. Heat a tawa, cook the rolled out paratha on both sides. Smear the parathas with ghee and serve.
Accompaniments:
Any masala like paneer masala, aloo matar, soya paneer masala goes well with the dish.
Storage:
Keep the parathas covered in the soft cotton cloth and reheat in a tawa before serving.
Substitutions:
Use warm milk instead of water to knead the dough. But parathas made with milk, needs to be consumed within a day.
