- 1 cup bajra (pearl millet) flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup green garlic , finely chopped or use 3-4 cloves regular garlic
- 1/4 cup spring onions , finely chopped
- 1/2 cup methi leaves , finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds (saunf) , roughly crushed

- 1/4 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- salt , to taste
- 1 tbsp oil
- warm water , as needed for the dough
- 2 tbsp green garlic and spring onions , finely chopped

In a bowl, add all the dough ingredients except water. Mix them with your hands until the vegetables release their water. Knead it into a soft, firm dough by adding warm water gradually.
-
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions. Roll out each dough ball into a circular paratha of about 5" in diameter using a rolling pin. Sprinkle green garlic and spring onions on the paratha and press them in the dough using a rolling pin.
-
Heat a non-stick tava and place the rolled out paratha on it. Cook on medium heat till the base is partly cooked, then flip it over. Drizzle ½ tsp of ghee over the paratha and along the edges. Cook it by pressing with the help of a spatula. Now, flip it again, drizzle 1/2 tsp ghee, and cook by pressing slightly.
-
Cook till the paratha is golden brown on both sides.
-
Enjoy them warm with some aloo dum, kachumber salad, raita, cilantro chutney, and garlic chutney.
