Ajwain paratha is a flavourful breakfast delight. It combines the earthy aroma of carom seeds with soft, golden layers of whole wheat. Lightly spiced and crisp, it offers a wholesome and comforting start to your day.
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour 1 tsp ajwain (carom seeds) 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp oil or ghee Water Ghee or oil
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, ajwain, and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee and mix well.
Step 2
Gradually add water to knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball. Dust with flour and roll into a small circle.
Step 4
Brush lightly with ghee and fold into a semi-circle, then fold again to form a triangle. Roll this triangle into a slightly thick paratha.
Step 5
Heat a tawa on medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on it and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form. Flip and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side.
Step 6
Flip again, applying ghee on the other side, and cook until golden brown and crisp. Serve hot with yoghurt, pickle, or a side of curry.
