Prep Time : 15 minutes
Cook Time : 10 minutes
Total Time : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Measuring cup (1 cup = 250 ml)

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or multigrain)
  • 2 teaspoon ajwain (carrom seeds)
  • red chili powder as needed

  • Firstly, take wheat flour, oil, and salt in a wide bowl. Mix well.

  • Add some water and keep kneading till you get the smooth dough. Dough should be tight and firm (not soft). Rest for 15-20 minutes.

  • Make balls from the dough. I was able to get six balls.
  • Roll the parathas to a 3-inch diameter circle using a chapati roller. Then spread little oil or ghee on it using a spoon or brush. I prefer using ghee.
    Sprinkle some salt, red chili powder, ajwain & wheat flour evenly. Or you can also use your finger and spread uniformly, making sure all the spices are nicely combined.

  • Fold from one side (from right), then the other side covering the previous fold (from left).

  • Again spread ghee and sprinkle some wheat flour. Again fold from top and bottom. It should look like a square.

  • Then roll it to a slightly thick square-shaped paratha.

  • Heat a tawa/skillet on medium heat and place the paratha and let it cook. Once you see bubbles, press with a laddle it will puff up, flip on to the other side drizzle some ghee or oil on top.

Notes

Tips & Variations

  • Use ghee to make parathas more flavorful, otherwise, you can use oil too.
  • These parathas taste the best when eaten hot.
  • You can also skip red chili powder to make plain ajwain paratha.
  • You can make this paratha in any preferable shape of your choice.
  • If you are running out of time, simply knead everything together and make the parathas.
 
Note: Nutrition values are my best estimates. If you rely on them for your diet, use your preferred nutrition calculator.

Prep Work For The Previous Evening

  1. You can prepare the dough at night and refrigerate it in an airtight container.
  2. You can crumble paneer at night and store it in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Packed in a stainless steel tiffin box called Lunchbots which is Eco-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe, BPA-Free and is easily available on Amazon. Do not use plastic lunch boxes for your kids, they are toxic.
  • For the soft chapati, it is important to cover the dough and set it aside for at least 20 minutes.
  • You can increase or decrease quantity based on your child's appetite.
