Warqi Paratha Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Warqi Paratha Recipe, we need to make the dough first

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour along with the salt, sugar, ghee and milk

Step 3: Mix well

Step 4: To bring the dough together use just enough water and make the warqi dough ball, kneading well

Step 5: Once you have a nice smooth warqi dough ball, cover with a wet muslin cloth and set aside for 30 minutes

Step 6: After 30 minutes, place the warqi dough on a work surface and flatten the entire dough with your palms, dust some flour over the dough on both sides and begin to now flatten it with the rolling pin

Step 7: Once you have a nice big rectangular shaped flattened dough, generously spread melted brush on the surface using a pastry brush

Step 8: Now sprinkle some flour over it

Step 9: We need to now fold the warqi dough

Step 10: To do this, fold one end of the dough to the centre of the dough and yet brush ghee and sprinkle flour over it

Step 11: Now fold the other side of the dough over lapping over the first fold to get one vertical rectangle

Step 12: Once again brush ghee and sprinkle flour and fold into a square

Step 13: Generously, dust with flour, transfer to a plate and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes

Step 14: Now repeat the process twice,  from scratch by rolling this square dough into a rectangular dough sheet and fold like we did earlier, with layers of ghee and flour

Step 15: Refrigerate the paratha after each folding process

Step 16: Now roll out to medium thickness, by dusting it with flour, and cut using a cookie cutter or a cake ring

Step 17: To cut the warqi parathas, dip the ring in the flour and  place over the flattened dough applying pressure

Step 18: Preheat an iron tawa on medium- high heat

Step 19: Rest the cut warqi parathas in the fridge for about 20 minutes

Step 20: Place the warqi on preheated tawa

Step 21: Cook the warqi for a minute on each side and then drizzle ghee generously and you will be able to see the layers from the edges

Step 22: Now remove the warqi paratha from the tawa and transfer it on a paper towel, hold the warqi paratha in your palms and lightly crush it to see the layers
