وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطاً لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيداً وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِي كُنتَ عَلَيْهَا إِلاَّ لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَإِن كَانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلاَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Barley Paratha with Blackstrap Molasses

Barley is a blessed grain Chosen by Allah for the Seal of Prophets (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam). And you can cook a sweetened Barley Paratha with Dates Molasses OR Blackstrap Molasses, which we make Jaggery (GUR).

Prepare the dough in a food processor with barley flour, blackstrap Molasses, olive oil, fennel, flaxseeds, red sesame, black seed (Kalonji) and date stones powder, turn on the machine & add water slowly till you get a perfect BALL which does not sticks to the walls. Put some olive oil on TAWA & heat the oil moderately, now put the dough on the center of Tawa & flatten it carefully with your fingers, you never need a Chakla Belan for barley's bread, some dough thickens on the corners, so flatten it with a plastic spoon to protect your fingers. Turn over and cook the top side; that is all, enjoy with some Quince preserve.
