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

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
  • 0.75 cups water
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
