Ajwain paratha is so flavorful! I often make ajwain pooris but not as much the parathas. After seeing yours I might make some tomorrow.
Good one. Looking forward to all the flatbreads in this series.
That's an awesome theme Sushma, can't wait to see rest of the series. Love ajwain paratha.
Carom seeds are flavorful and good for digestion and these parathas are yum. Looking forward to your paratha series.
