This nutrient-rich paratha combines whole wheat flour, bajra, jowar, ragi, barley, rajgira, and besan, making it a powerhouse of various grains and seeds. Perfect for any meal, these parathas pair wonderfully with yogurt or chutneys.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

20 grams each of the following flours (totalling 100 grams for a mix):

• Whole wheat flour
• Bajra (pearl millet) flour
• Jowar (sorghum) flour
• Ragi (finger millet) flour
• Barley flour
• Rajgira (amaranth) flour
• Besan (gram flour)
• 2 tablespoons chopped coriander
• 2 tablespoons chopped green chillies
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
• Salt to taste
• 2 teaspoons oil

Procedure:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all the flours: whole wheat flour, bajra flour, jowar flour, ragi flour, barley flour, rajgira flour, and besan.
• Add cumin seeds, ajwain, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, hing, and salt. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
• Gradually add water as needed to form a soft and pliable dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
• Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a  circle.
• Heat a tawa or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the hot tawa. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles start to form.
• Flip the paratha and brush with a little oil. Cook for another minute or until brown spots appear. Flip again and cook for a few seconds on the other side to ensure it is evenly cooked.
• Remove from the tawa and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel. Serve the saatdhaan parathas hot with dahi or mint chutney.
