BM #92 Day 26 - 

I hope the relearning of the English alphabet has been as much fun for all of you as it was for us. As we come to the last letter in this journey, I picked up a very flavorful and rich paratha fit for a Nawab.

Zafran means Saffron and so the flavor infusion was saffron in this paratha and I loved the way the layers were incorporated by the rolling of the dough in a unique pattern. Please refer to the pictures for more clarity.

I shall publish another post to recap all the flatbreads which were showcased in this series. So watch out for that.

Thanks to Srivalli and the rest of my BM friends who accompanied us in this journey.

Recipe Inspiration here
Ingredients -

Wheat Flour 1 1/2 cups 
Salt 1/2 tsp 
Sugar 1 Tbsp or more as needed
Oil 1 tsp 
Yogurt 1/2 cup + more as needed
Milk 4 Tbsp + more for brushing
Saffron strands a generous pinch



Method Of Preparation -


Soak saffron strands in warm milk for about 30 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour, salt, sugar, oil, half of the saffron milk leaving the strands in milk for topping/garnish.

Knead well while adding yogurt to make a soft dough.

Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.

Make 6-7 portions of the dough.

Roll each portion into a six inch thin disc using as much dusting flour as needed.

From the center of the disc, make a cut to the edge of the disc.

Make a carpet roll from one cut edge all the way around to reach the other cut edge. (Refer the pictures.)



Press down the flower shaped rolled disc and roll again using as much dusting flour as needed to a 5 inch disc.

Brush the disc with the saffron milk with a few strands on it.

Gently transfer the disc onto a heated griddle with the saffron milk side on top.

Cook well and drizzle ghee/oil as needed on both sides and make sure both the sides are cooked well. Remove onto an insulated container and continue with the rest of the dough.

Serve with a spicy accompaniment.

  5. Same pinch Harini ! Just that I stuffed the paratha !
    Zafran gives a special touch to the parathas and makes them rich . Using curd must have made them real soft . And that unique style of rolling - it’s gorgeous !

    Beautiful finish to this Ato Z journey .
