INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 c 1 1/2 pounds all purpose
flour
1/3 t Salt
1/4 t Baking powder
3 1/2 T Soft butter or margerine, I

called for because it was
so hard to stretch it
out
1/3 c 2 1/2 ounces milk

INSTRUCTIONS

from The Art of Indian Cuisine by Pranati Sen Gupta (who probably
wouldn`t mind me reprinting her recipe because every Bengolee I know
is related to someone who is somehow related to me)  sift dry
ingredients.Mix in 2 1/2 tbsp butter or shortening.Add  enough milk to
make a soft dough.Cover bowl containing dough with  damp cloth and set
aside for 30 min. Knead dough well.Devide into 2  balls.Roll out each
ball into a round about 6 inches in diameterand  1/6 inch thick.Brush
each round with 1/2 tbsp butter and sprinkle  lightly with flour.Make a
cut from the centre of the round to the  edge.Roll dough from one cut
edge to the other to form a crescent  like roll.Cut each roll into 3
equal parts.Place cut side of each  up,flatten,and roll out to the size
of a pancake.  (*i didn`t really understand the last 2 lines so i did
like they do at  home.The mamak people which are indian muslims usually
make this by  throwing it up in the air rather like i believe they do
with pizza  over here.Deficient in this regard,my mother made do with
stretching  it out on an oily surface before folding it up into a 6
inch pancake  of sorts.)  ...to cont.where I left off....  Heat ghee in
a shallow frying pan and fry paratha turning about 5-7  min or until
both sides are a golden brown and crisp.Serve while  hot.(At home it
would be served with a dhal.We do have varieties of  these whereby a
meat /chicken filling is added ((murtabak)) or where  it is fried after
being dipped in an egg mixture((no special name)).  Posted to FOODWINE
