Recipe - Maida Parottas

1 cup Maida (plain flour)
1 teaspoon Baking powder
Salt and water as needed
4 tablespoon Ghee or oil

Sieve the maida with the baking powder. Add a tablespoon of ghee and rub
well till mixed. Add salt and enough water (about Three fourths cup) and knead well
to make a soft dough. Divide into eight equal sized balls. Roll out each
into thin chappathies and smear some ghee all over. Sponge roll each from
one end to the other (similar to rolling a poster into a tube shape). Roll
it out again into a flat round shape. Set aside for 30 minutes. Lightly
roll it up again into thick chappathies. Heat the griddle stone over a low
fire, put the parotta on it. Turn it and smear it with some ghee and fry
both sides till golden brown.
