Cinnamon Sugar Paratha Straws are a fusion recipe that combines the Indian parathas (made from Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta) with Western pastry-making. This particular atta suits the recipe because it offers a pleasant natural aroma and premium quality texture, and is renowned for its moisture-retaining properties. This buttery-sweet paratha recipe, with finger-like creations, uses a laminated dough method similar to making puff pastry, with an incredible amount of butter, almost as much butter as flour. The dough itself is neutral and unsweetened, with all the sweetness coming from rolling the straws in cinnamon sugar before baking. This means you can easily adapt the recipe for savoury variations using cheese, herbs, or spices.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Make the dough base

Weigh the Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta and add it to a large bowl. Coarsely grate cold butter directly over the flour. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the flour just until small pieces of butter are still visible throughout; don't work it to fine breadcrumbs. Add cold water and mix with a table knife to form a wet and rough dough.
