Steps

  • Mix flour, salt, and 5ml of oil in a bowl with 150ml warm water to form dough.
  • Knead the mixture for 10 minutes until a soft, smooth dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into six balls and roll each into 15cm circles.
  • Press roughly 1.25ml of ajwain seeds into each circle.
  • Spread 5ml of olive oil over each paratha, slit in half, and fold into triangles.
  • Roll the triangles out gently to a thickness of 5mm.
  • Heat a shallow frying pan over medium heat.
  • Cook each side for 20-30 seconds, pressing down with a spatula until brown spots appear and edges are crispy.
  • Repeat for all parathas and serve hot.
