Mauritian Farata Recipe
Farata is the Mauritian version of Indian paratha, a layered, flaky, pan-fried flatbread. It consists of three basic ingredients: flour, water, and oil.
Faratas are traditionally served warm, accompanying spicy curry dishes or any kind of chutney.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
Butter, melted
White flour
Warm water
salt and vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE MAURITIAN FARATA RECIPE
In a mixing bowl, rub melted butter into flour using your hand until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the warm water to form a soft dough. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Next, divide the dough into eight equal portions and roll each one into a ball before rolling out into pans with a rolling pin.
Brush the pans with melted butter and fold it in half to form a half-circle. Brush with melted butter once more and fold into a triangle. Make a flat layer out of the triangular shape.
Under low heat, grease a hot griddle or tava (frying pan), then place the rolled bread on it.
Cook for about a minute on each side – it may be necessary to turn them over more frequently to ensure thorough cooking and avoid burning. Serve hot with butter or any other dishes.
