Tandoori parathas are a popular Indian flatbread typically served as an accompaniment to curries and chutneys. These addictive parathas are brushed with ghee and baked in the oven, resulting in a crispy golden brown exterior and soft and chewy interior. The baking process also makes them a healthier alternative to traditional fried parathas. Enjoy these parathas hot with your favorite Indian dishes for a satisfying and delicious meal!

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
2.	Gradually add water to the flour mixture, mixing with your hands to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for 10 to 15 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.
3.	Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4.	Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
5.	Flatten each ball into a circular disk. Brush the top with ghee.
6.	Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the parathas on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
7.	Serve hot with your choice of curry or chutney.
