This garlic paratha delivers maximum flavour with minimal effort thanks to its simple recipe. The garlic clove is added directly to the dough, so there is no need for any stuffing, ensuring a consistent flavour throughout the paratha. The Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta gives a nice, elastic dough that cooks evenly and retains the chewiness of a good-quality homemade paratha.
This is an easy recipe for busy mornings or for times when you do not want any planning in advance, because the parathas can be made without having to rest the dough, so you can skip the step of preparing a stuffing. Once cooked, the garlic will lose its sharpness and take on an aromatic smell rather than a pungent one from being cooked gently within the dough. Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, these parathas are perfect with curd, pickle, or even by themselves with a cup of chai, making them ideal for breakfast, brunch, or as a quick meal solution.
Put the Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta in a bowl, followed by chopped coriander (if using), minced garlic, salt, olive oil, and enough water to make a soft dough. Knead the dough until it is very smooth. Cover the mixture and let it sit for at least five minutes so that the garlic's flavour can penetrate the dough.

Divide and shape
Now cut the dough into uniform pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a neat ball, then dust it with flour. Take your hands and gently flatten the ball, then roll it out to approximately medium thickness.
Description - Step 3
Cook the garlic parathas
When your griddle is hot and ready to use (medium-high heat), place one of your rolled-out parathas on the hot surface. Cook until bubbles appear, then flip the paratha to the other side, where the bottom should be firm. Use just a small amount of ghee or oil to grease the bottom, then return the paratha to the griddle and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side (you may need to flip it again to ensure even cooking).
