Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ajwain, and salt.
  2. Add water gradually and knead to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
  4. Flatten each ball and roll it out into a circle of about 6 inches in diameter.
  5. Heat a tava or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the tava.
  6. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form, then flip it over.
  7. Apply a little oil on the cooked side and flip again. Cook for another minute until golden brown.
  8. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking the cooked parathas in a container.

Tips

  • Serve hot with pickle or yogurt.
  • For a softer paratha, add a little more oil to the dough.
