Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup Water
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or butter
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cumin seeds, coriander powder, ajwain, and salt.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until it has a crumbly texture.

Step 3

Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Adjust the water quantity as needed to achieve a dough that is soft but not sticky.

Step 4

Once the dough is ready, coat it lightly with a small amount of oil to prevent drying and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Dust a clean surface with a little flour, and with a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a disc about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or a tava over medium heat.

Step 8

Place one rolled-out dough disc on the hot skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds or until bubbles start forming on the surface.

Step 9

Flip the paratha and apply a small amount of ghee or butter. Cook for another 30 seconds, then flip again.

Step 10

Apply ghee or butter on the other side now. Press the paratha using a spatula to ensure even cooking for another 30-40 seconds or until golden brown spots appear.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve hot parathas with yogurt, pickle, or a side dish of your choice.
