Ajwain Paratha (Vaamu Chapati)

My final recipe for this week is again with whole wheat flour. These parathas are one variation of normal tawa parathas but with a wonderful flavor of Ajwain (carom seeds). When you get bored of normal plain roti or parathas this will be a good choice. Since ajwain or carom seeds will help in improving digestion and controls the stomach pain

Very easy to make parathas with a good flavor, you can make this parathas only adding carom seeds.  But when you add only carom seeds that will give mild ajwain flavor. If you want to make them little more flavor full and spicy then add powder masalas like cumin powder, red chilli powder. But if you have a stomach problem then avoid redchilli powder, you can add cumin powder ajwain. Other then this powder masalas can add finely chopped coriander leaves, finely chopped mint leaves, finely chopped fenugreek leaves(methi). For today recipe I have use finely chopped coriander leves.
