    Ingredients

    • 1 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 tsp ajwain
    • 1 tsp ghee
    • salt to taste
    • water as needed
    • oil as needed

    Instructions

    • Measure whole wheat flour and take it in a mixing bowl. Add ajwain, required salt and ghee.
    • First mix well with your fingers for the distribution to be even.
    • Then add water little by little to form a dough. Knead well to form a soft non-sticky dough.
    • Rest for 15mins undisturbed. Make small balls out of the dough and keep it ready. Now take a ball and place it on the chapathi rolling board.
    • Using a chapathi roller, roll it slightly. Then spread little oil on it using a spoon. Fold from one side (from top) then other side covering the previous fold. (from bottom). Again spread oil.
    • Again fold from left and right. Flip it, sprinkle little flour.
    • Then roll it to a slightly thick square shaped paratha.
    • Heat a tawa, drizzle little oil place the paratha when it starts to bubble ,press with a ladle it will puff up, flip to other side, spread oil/ghee and cook till golden spots appear here and there.
    • Serve Ajwain Paratha hot with your favorite gravy or curd.

    Notes

    • Knead the dough till it becomes soft, knead it at least for 5mins like we do for chapathi dough
    • You can even apply ghee fully.
    • The paratha dough keeps well in the fridge for at least 2days, so for morning breakfast you can make the dough and keep in fridge. Next day morning keep the dough in room temperature for a while then make parathas.

      Hi Sharmi,

      Parantha looks delicious. I really like the concept of square paranthas as it looks different from the routine round or triangle. Will try it on the weekend.

      I think Step 8 has been added by mistake.
