Certainly! Here's a simple recipe for making homemade prata, a popular South Asian flatbread:
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup water (approximately)
1/4 cup condensed milk or evaporated milk
Vegetable oil (for cooking and greasing)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar.
Gradually add water and condensed milk, mixing continuously until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. Let the Dough Rest:
Coat the dough with a bit of oil and place it back into the bowl.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the gluten to relax and makes the dough easier to work with.
3. Divide and Shape:
After the resting period, divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions.
Roll each portion into a smooth ball and coat it lightly with oil. Allow the balls to rest for an additional 15-20 minutes.
4. Rolling and Stretching:
Take one of the balls, dip it in a bit of oil, and place it on a flat, oiled surface.
Using your hands and fingers, gently flatten and spread the dough into a thin sheet. It's common to use a technique of flipping and stretching to achieve a thin and stretchy dough.
5. Cooking:
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil.
Carefully transfer the stretched dough to the hot pan and cook each side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. You can brush a little oil on each side during cooking for a crispier texture.
6. Serve:
Once cooked, remove the prata from the pan and place it on a plate.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
7. Enjoy:
Serve the prata warm with your favorite dipping sauces, curries, or even with a bit of sugar or condensed milk for a sweet variation.
Enjoy your homemade prata! Adjust the thickness and cooking time based on your preferences.
