Parathas

Parathas

Parathas are the shallow-fried version of chapatis. This recipes make crunchier and less-flaky parathas than those I buy from the store. Serve with cinnamon-sugar for a sweet treat or with curries as a scooping bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
  • ¾ cup water
  • oil for frying

Directions

Step 1
Mix all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour in a bowl. Sprinkle salt on top. Add butter, sugar, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Mix together with your fingers. Pour water in gradually; continue to mix by hand until a soft dough is formed.

Step 2
Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth; let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3
Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Shape into smooth balls; lightly flatten. Dust with flour and roll into thin circles about 1/16-inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.

Step 4
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Fry each dough circle until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Cook’s Note:

Use any dried herbs of your choosing.
