Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 200 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 380 ml Water
- 1 tbsp Melted unsalted butter
Flavorings
- 1 tbsp Minced garlic
- 2.5 tbsp Chopped coriander
- 1 tsp Cooking oil (for frying pan)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a container, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, minced garlic, and water. Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth liquid batter without lumps.
- Add Butter and Coriander: Stir in the melted unsalted butter and chopped coriander into the batter and mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Heat the Pan: Place a pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of cooking oil, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking during frying.
- Cook the Flatbread: Using a large spoon, scoop about two half spoonfuls of batter and pour it into the heated pan to form a small round flatbread.
- First Side Frying: Fry the batter for 1 to 2 minutes on medium heat until small bubbles start to appear and the underside is lightly browned.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Turn the flatbread to the other side and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes until cooked.
- Alternate Sides: Flip the flatbread back and forth 2 to 3 times, watching for bubbling on the surface. This ensures even cooking and fluffiness.
- Increase Heat if Necessary: When bubbles appear prominently, increase the heat to high to cook through and develop larger bubbles, enhancing texture.
- Repeat for Remaining Batter: Remove the cooked flatbread and repeat the process with the remaining batter until all flatbreads are made.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is smooth and slightly runny for easy spreading in the pan.
- Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning while making sure flatbreads cook through.
- You can add finely chopped green chilies or herbs for extra flavor variations.
- Serve flatbreads warm with dips, curries, or as a snack on their own.
