Ajwain paratha is a simple Indian flatbread served with curry, dal or simply pair up with curd or pickle. Even you can have them with tea which makes a perfect combo altogether. Apart from ajwain paratha, you can make ajwain poori and ajwain roti with the same dough. They are great for breakfast or dinner and lunch.
Carom seeds or ajwain seeds are rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. They can be consumed raw, like chewing raw seeds, boil in water or add in tea helps in maintaining the digestive system.
This September month I am participating in a month-long blogging marathon of A-Z Indian Flatbreads hosted by Srivalli with many bloggers. Feeling pretty excited as it is my first time of everyday blogging. Moreover, we all are happy at home as I am going to cook new flatbreads every day. In this A-Z series, I chose A-Ajwain Paratha which is commonly made in every Indian kitchen. After a long time, I cooked it from scratch. Generally, I make these with leftover dough.
This paratha goes very well with any dal or gravy. Enjoy ajwain paratha with Gajar Matar Sabji, Lauki Chana Dal, Rasedar aloo gobhi or Achari bhindi. You can also serve with lentils like Panchmel dal, Urad dal tadka or Dal palak to name a few.

Welcome to the Mega Marathon Bhawana. I’m sure you’ll love it and then wouldn’t be able to resist joining the others. I love ajwainor jeera flavored parathas and make it a point to include either in the dough every time I make parathas. Would love to have your paratha with some tea right now.
Such healthy and delicious looking paratha’s this are. Light on the tummy too. We make this quite often specially when we do not have any vegetable along side.
That is such a flavorful paratha, Bhawana. A great everyday paratha to kick start the mega bm

Ajwain is a great aromatic spice and we use them in deep fried recipes. Adding ajwain in parathas is a nice idea. The whole platter looks awesome.
