A delicious multi-layered whole wheat flat bread/paratha made with ajwain is a very popular paratha in North Indian cuisine. Make a try for this paratha and enjoy your meal. It tastes really yummy and is mostly served in restaurants and Dhaba. It tastes great with any Indian curry as the main dish, it is a treat with any meal and can be served with any gravy based dish of your choice. A crispy paratha, tricky to make but very tasty.
Do give it a try.

Food is not simply stuff that people eat when they are hungry. Food is awesome, delicious, inventive, colorful, inspiring, and so much more. Food binds us together. You have no idea how much it means to me when you tell me that you made a recipe and loved it. My heart fills with joy. Literally.
