Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herbed Garlic Parathas.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and combine your all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a delightful blend of textures.
Step 2
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the flour mixture to enhance the flavor.
Step 3
Next, add in the melted butter, sugar, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of dried mixed herbs.
Step 4
Using your fingers, gently mix everything together until it’s well combined, allowing the aromas to mingle.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to bring your dough to life! Gradually pour in water while mixing with your hands until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Step 6
Once your dough is ready, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it for about seven minutes.
Step 7
You’re looking for a smooth and elastic texture, so don’t rush this step! After kneading, cover your dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 8
This resting period is crucial as it allows the gluten to relax, making your dough easier to work with.
Step 9
After the dough has rested, divide it into eight equal portions.
Step 10
Shape each piece into a smooth ball and give it a gentle flattening.
Step 11
Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll each ball into a thin circle, aiming for about 1/16-inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.
Step 12
Now, let’s heat things up! In a large saucepan, warm some oil over medium heat.
Step 13
Carefully fry each rolled dough circle for about two minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 14
Once they’re perfectly cooked, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 15
And there you have it—crispy, flavorful delights ready to be enjoyed! Whether you serve them as a snack or alongside your favorite dish, these treats are sure to impress.
Step 16
Enjoy your culinary creation!.
