Ingredients:

• ½ cup Besan (Gram Flour)
• ½ cup Atta
• 1-1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 4 pinches Asafetida
• 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

How to make Besan Paratha:

• Mix all the ingredients except ghee in a bowl and knead it into soft dough using warm water.
• Cover the dough with a muslin cloth and leave it for 15 minutes.
• After the desired time period, divide the dough into equal portions and roll out each portion into a small circle.
• Now apply a little ghee in the center of each circle and fold all the adjoining sides.
• Roll out the above into a bigger circle and place it on a heated griddle.
• Once paratha is cooked on one side, turn it over; apply ghee on the cooked side.
• Now allow to cook the other side and repeat the same process till both sides are properly cooked.
• Put off the flame and serve Besan Paratha with curd or pickle.
