Parathas image

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.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

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

I didn't have any ghee on hand, so I used butter instead. The parathas still turned out great!
