2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tablespoon of oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup or enough water for preparation of dough
To the whole wheat flour add salt, oil combine it and slowly add water to form a dough.  After the dough is formed let it rest for about 30 minutes.  Divide it into 10 equal parts.

2 tablespoon of ginger
1 tablespoon of chopped chili or to taste
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Roll the paratha dough into a flat round about 4 to 5 inches at the center of the rolled dough, place the filling bring the edges together seal and place it down with the sealed side down.  Do the same with rest of the dough and filling.
With the sealed side down roll the dough with the filling into flat round paratha without applying to much pressure.

Heat a griddle on medium heat.  Put the rolled paratha on the griddle and heat it until bubbles are formed on the top.  At that point turn it over and let it cook on the other side.  When the two sides are cooked apply some clarified butter or oil on both sides and remove.
