Here’s a nice little game-changer – make your own paratha to enjoy with your chicken tikka.

Ingredients

wholemeal bread flour 300g
Plain flour 300g
olive oil 2 tbsp
semi-skimmed milk 400ml

Method

Step 1

For 8 people, put 300g each of wholemeal bread flour and plain flour into a bowl with a good pinch of sea salt.
Step 2

Gradually add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 400ml of semi-skimmed milk, mixing until combined, then knead for a few minutes on a flour-dusted surface.
Step 3

Leave to rest for 20 minutes, then divide the dough into eight and thinly roll out each piece to A4 size.
Step 4

One-by-one, drizzle and rub lightly with oil, roll up into a loose log, roll the log up like a Catherine wheel, then roll out with a rolling pin again to a flat round just under ½cm thick.
Step 5

Cook in a hot oiled frying pan on a medium heat for three minutes on each side, or until nicely charred, then sprinkle lightly with salt.

Transfer to a board and smash together to expose the layers.
