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.

Time 49m

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

These parathas are amazing! I've never had anything like them before. The dough is so soft and the filling is so flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my parathas turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These parathas are so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family. I love that I can use up leftover vegetables in the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the parathas turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I served them with some dal and they were delicious.

These parathas were a bit too oily for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less oil.

I'm not a big fan of parathas, but these were really good. The dough was light and flaky and the filling was flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.

I made these parathas for breakfast this morning and they were delicious! The dough was easy to work with and the parathas cooked up perfectly. I served them with some yogurt and chutney and they were a hit with my family.
