Oil + Ghee for cooking parathas

Preparation:

Take rajma, tomato, mint leaves and crush into paste.
Crush pomegranate seeds to powder separately
and mix it to the paste and crush again.
Now mix green chilies, red chili powder, salt to taste, oil and mix well. Add sieved wheat flour and make soft dough. Use water only if required.
Press well with both hands to create smooth texture. Cover with wet cloth and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Make 10-12 equal balls and roll out into thick paratha.

Heat pan and once hot place the paratha on it. Cook one side till you see small bubble on the paratha. Flip it to one side and apply oil + ghee 1 tea spoon. After another 30-50 sec flip on to another side and apply oil. Now with spatula press gently on to sides and roast until its cooked on both sides.

Repeat the same procedure for all balls.
