Cooking steps for Garlic Paratha
- 1This recipe of garlic paratha combines the richness of whole wheat flour with the bold flavors of garlic and spices.
- 2This simple yet mouthwatering recipe yields soft, golden parathas that are perfect for pairing with yogurt, pickles, or curries.
- 3Start by mixing 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large bowl.
- 4Gradually add ¾ cup of water to form a smooth dough.
- 5Knead the dough until it becomes soft and pliable, ensuring it's not sticky.
- 6Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- 7This resting period makes the dough easier to roll out and results in softer parathas.
- 8While the dough rests, prepare the aromatic garlic filling.
- 9Take 8-10 finely chopped cloves of garlic and add them to a small bowl.
- 10Add ¼ cup of finely chopped coriander leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- 11Mix these ingredients together to create a flavorful filling.
- 12Once the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- 13Flatten each ball slightly, and dust the rolling surface with a little flour to prevent sticking.
- 14Roll one dough ball into a small circle, about 4-5 inches in diameter.
- 15Spoon a generous amount of the garlic filling into the center of the circle.
- 16Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and seal it tightly, making sure the filling stays inside.
- 17Gently roll the stuffed dough ball into a larger circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter, being careful not to tear the dough.
- 18Heat a non-stick tawa or pan over medium heat.
- 19Place the rolled paratha on the hot pan and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, until tiny bubbles appear on the surface.
- 20Flip the paratha and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
- 21Brush a little ghee or oil on both sides and continue to cook until the paratha turns golden and crispy.
- 22Repeat this process for all the dough portions, ensuring each paratha is evenly cooked.
- 23Stack the cooked parathas on a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
- 24Serve the garlic paratha hot with creamy yogurt, tangy pickles, or your favorite curry.
