Ajwain Paratha

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• Half cup all purpose flour (maida)
• 1 small cup ajwain (carom seeds)
• 1 small cup finely chopped coriander leaves
• Salt as per taste
• Water to knead the dough
• Oil for greasing parathas

Recipe

Take wheat flour and all purpose flour in a mixing bowl. Add ajwain, coriander leaves and salt as per taste. Mix well. Now start adding little water to form a soft dough. Grease the dough with little oil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Make small balls out of the dough.

Heat a skillet.

Take a ball made of the dough and roll it flat.

Put the rolled paratha over the skillet and cook well from both the sides till you get a crisp crust and see the light golden color over the paratha. Grease the paratha with little oil so it will be shallow fried.

Cook the paratha from both the sides.

Following the same steps make the remains parathas and serve with any vegetable, chutney of your choice or pickle.

You can store these parathas for 2-3 days in an air tight container.

*Note - These parathas are very simple and healthy, you can also use low fat butter while shallow frying them.
