Simple Garlic Paratha is built around surface flavour rather than stuffing. Minced garlic meets direct tawa heat, creating crisp edges and a fragrant bite. Using Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta ensures a dough that hydrates evenly, stretches without tearing, and holds moisture long enough for the garlic to roast instead of burn.
Peel and finely mince fresh garlic to a near-paste texture. Avoid crushing it fully, as intact bits roast better on the tawa. Keep the garlic raw and uncovered so its natural oils stay sharp and aromatic.

Make Dough
Add Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta and salt to a bowl. Gradually pour in water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. The chakki-ground wheat absorbs moisture evenly. Cover and rest for 10 minutes to improve stretch and softness.

Divide & Roll
Divide the rested dough into equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Dust lightly with atta and roll into a medium-thick disc. Avoid rolling too thin, as garlic needs surface contact time to roast evenly.

Add Garlic
Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over one side of the rolled paratha. Press lightly with a rolling pin so the garlic adheres to the surface. This step ensures garlic roasts directly on the tawa instead of falling off mid-cook.

Roast on Tawa
Place the paratha garlic-side down on a hot tawa. Cook until bubbles form and garlic turns lightly golden. Flip, apply ghee or oil, and roast the second side on medium heat until crisp spots appear.

Finish & Serve
Remove once both sides are evenly cooked. Sprinkle chopped coriander if using. Serve immediately while the garlic aroma is at its peak, and the paratha remains soft inside.
