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.
