About Ajwain Paratha Recipe
I love the flavour of carom seeds in my parathas. For those folks who are new to carom seeds, it has a flavour very similar to oregano, but very very strong spice. So you only need a little amount. If you add a ton of it in your paratha, It ruins the whole thing. So be stingy on it. But the cool thing is the paratha stays so soft and you have so many layers in it.

Hi Aarthi. I love your recipes. I am new at making chapatis and parathas. Mine come out a little hard. Am wondering what I am doing wrong. Thanks.
Aarthi
try and make the dough soft. Cook paratha in super hot pan
Seeja Nanoo
Thanks for your reply Aarthi. How do I get the dough soft - I hear that warm water makes the dough soft? Thanks.
Aarthi
Yes u can use warm water. Also resting the dough for 30 mins will make it soft
