Preparation

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ajwain (carom seeds), salt, and 2 teaspoons of ghee.

2. Slowly add water and knead the mixture into a soft dough. The dough should not be too sticky.

3. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

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

5. Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat.

6. Take one dough ball and roll it into a small circle. Brush it with ghee and fold it into half.

7. Brush it with ghee and fold it again into a quarter circle, forming a triangle.

8. Roll the triangle gently into a paratha, ensuring it doesn't break.

9. Place the rolled paratha on the preheated tawa and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

10. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

11. Serve the hot ajwain parathas with yogurt, pickle, or any side dish of your choice.
