Step 1

Begin preparing the dough. Firstly take a big pan and add your wheatflour to it. Add some salt, turmeric, and warm ghee to the mixture. Then add a few crushed ajwain seeds for flavour and essence. Mix the flour well so that the warm ghee blends well with the dough. Now add water and knead the dough properly. Make sure there are no lumps left. Apply some oil on the sides of the vessel to avoid stickiness.

Keep making folds, until four layers can be seen. Then roll your paratha and now it's ready to roast.
