Parathas

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon melted butter

1 teaspoon white sugar

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs

¾ cup water

oil for frying

Mix all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour in a bowl. Sprinkle salt on top. Add butter, sugar, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Mix together with your fingers. Pour water in gradually; continue to mix by hand until a soft dough is formed.

Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth; let rest for 30 minutes.

Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Shape into smooth balls; lightly flatten. Dust with flour and roll into thin circles about 1/16-inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Fry each dough circle until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
