This paratha builds softness into the dough itself rather than relying on stuffing or excess fat. Thick yoghurt acts as both tenderiser and flavour carrier, while fresh herbs are kneaded directly into Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta with Multigrains. The atta’s six-grain blend- wheat, soya, chana, oat, maize, and psyllium husk- absorbs moisture gradually, allowing the dough to stretch cleanly without tearing. The result is a paratha that cooks evenly on the tawa, stays pliable after cooling, and delivers steady flavour and fibre in every bite without tasting coarse or heavy.
Chop coriander, mint, and green chilli finely and evenly. Uniform cuts ensure the herbs blend into the dough instead of piercing it during rolling. This is especially important with high-fibre atta, where surface strength depends on even distribution.

Dry Mixing
Add Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta with Multigrains to a wide bowl. Mix in salt, cumin seeds, chopped herbs, and chilli. Rub lightly with fingertips until the flour smells fresh and the herbs coat the grains evenly before any liquid is introduced.

Yoghurt Binding
Add yoghurt gradually and bring the mixture together. Knead gently. Psyllium husk and multigrains absorb moisture slowly, so resist adding water early. Add only enough water to eliminate dry patches. The dough should feel soft and slightly tacky, not sticky.

Dough Rest
Cover and rest the dough. This allows fibre-rich grains to hydrate fully and gluten to relax, preventing shrinkage and uneven thickness while rolling.
Description - Step 5
Portioning
Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll into smooth balls, sealing cracks. Proper surface tension here directly affects the round shape and even puffing on the tawa.
Description - Step 6
Rolling
Dust lightly with dry atta and roll into 6–7 inch discs using gentle outward strokes. The dough should stretch without resistance, indicating balanced moisture and fibre absorption.

Tawa Cooking
Heat a tawa on medium heat. Place the paratha and cook until bubbles form and the underside sets. Flip, apply ghee on both sides, and roast until light golden patches appear with a mild surface crisp.

Rest & Serve
Remove from heat and rest briefly. This stabilises the crumb and keeps the interior soft while the exterior stays lightly crisp.
