Instructions

The Dough

  1. Put all of the flour in your kitchenaid bowl
  2. If you are adding salt add it in at this point (SEE NOTES)
  3. Use the dough hook on your kitchenaid and add half of the water and the oil and start mixing on low
  4. Once the dough starts to come together, add the remaining water and turn up the speed just one level
  5. Mix till all of the ingredients are well incorporated
  6. Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl, mix again and shape the dough into a ball
  7. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside for 20 minutes

Sugar Parathas

  1. Shape the dough into 4 even ball
  2. Slightly dust the balls with some flour and roll them out into round discs, about 4-5 inches wide
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon oil on the dough, making sure it's evenly spread
  4. Add the 2 tablespoon sugar on top, spreading it evenly
  5. Start rolling the dough away from you into a long cylindrical shape
  6. Gently lengthen the roll with your hands and then twist it
  7. Twirl the twist into a round shape and pat it down into a disc (SEE NOTES)
  8. Sprinkle with some flour and roll it out into a 5-6 inch paratha
  9. Preheat your Tawa (flat griddle) well (SEE NOTES)
  10. Brush any flour off the surface off your stuffed paratha and place on the preheated pan
  11. After about 30 seconds, gently flip the paratha over
  12. While the other side is cooking, spoon about 2 tablespoon oil onto the par cooked surface and spread it around.
  13. Flip the paratha again after 30 seconds and repeat with the oil on the other side.
  14. Cook an additional minute on each side (after adding the oil) till light brown spots appear on the surface of the stuffed bread (SEE NOTES)
  15. Remove the paratha from the heat and serve while fresh and hot
  16. Repeat this entire process 3 more times with the remaining balls of dough

Notes

  • Kitchenaid Mixer - I use my kitchenaid mixer to knead my dough as it shaves off a lot of time and makes the task much easier. A food processor, especially one with a dough blade is also a great option. But if you don't have either, a traditional hand mixed dough will suffice. Details for how to prepare the dough using these other 2 options are given in the blog post above.
  • Tawa - A tawa is a traditional flat griddle used to make all Pakistani and Indian flatbreads. If you don't have one you can use a wide frying pan instead, but you may need to adjust cooking times a little bit in this case.
  • Adding Salt To Your Dough - Salt is often added to flatbread dough when making a plain bread. However, in this case, since your potatoes will also be seasoned, you may or may not want your dough to have salt in it (I don't add any to my aloo paratha dough). If you do add any salt, no more than a pinch or two is suggested.
  • Rolling & Twisting the Dough - This is the technique that helps to create soft, flaky layers. Often used even when making a plain paratha, in the sugar paratha it's essential.
  • Preheating The Tawa - The Paratha needs to cook quickly at high heat in order to stay soft. If the Tawa or frying pan is not preheated well, the cooking process will slow down and result in a hard and chewy flatbread.
  • Cooking Time For The Paratha - As mentioned, the Paratha should cook quickly, approximately 3 minutes is an average time. However, since everyone's cooking utensils and stoves vary, it's possible to be off by a minute or two (but not too much)
