Fresh ginger - garlic paste - 1 tspn of each

5. When all the water is absorbed, add garam masala powder, coriander leaves and mix well.

6. Turn off the stove and allow it cool down.

7. Prepare the dough by mixing wheat flour, Oil (1 tbl spn)with the cooled beet root mixture, add little more salt because when you mix flour to the beet root mixture, it might just not be enough.

8. Roll the dough using a rolling pin (method: refer pudina paratha). Heat a flat non - stick pan on medium flame, fry the paratha on one side first.

9. Flip to the other side after 2 mins. Flip one or two times more on either sides. Serve hot by spreading ghee (clarified butter) on both the sides.
