Ingredients
2 cups Pearl Millet (Bajra Flour)
1 cup Gram Flour (besan)
1 cup Onion (finely chopped)
Ginger, chili, garlic paste (1 tbsp)
1 cup Coriander Leaves (chopped)
1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Black Pepper Powder
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1 tsp Coriander Powder
4 tbsp Clarified Butter (Ghee)
to taste Salt
as needed Water
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bajra flour, gram flour, chopped onion, ginger-garlic-chili paste, coriander leaves, and all the dry spices (sesame seeds, pepper, turmeric, red chili, cumin, coriander powder, and salt).
2
Gradually add small amounts of water to the flour mixture to form a soft, pliable dough. Do not prepare the dough in advance, as it tends to dry out quickly.
3
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and shape them into round balls.
4
To roll, place a dough ball between two sheets of butter paper or clean plastic. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten it into a paratha shape.
5
Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Carefully transfer the rolled paratha to the hot pan and peel off the top layer of paper.
6
Cook on one side, then flip. Apply ghee or oil to both sides and cook until golden brown spots appear and the paratha is well-cooked.
7
Serve hot with fresh curd, butter, or your favorite green chutney.
