Triple-M Paratha

This would sound nice on a menu for James Bond :)) 3 simple ingredients,1 yummy and healthy dish. The m's are - makki,methi and mooli...all what the heart desires in this lovely winter weather. Plain makki ka atta is a tricky thing to handle (even by some experts), so I've mixed in some plain atta..you can play around with the combination and even use nachni/jowar/bajra atta...The edges were not perfectly round,adding more to the rustic appeal. Served it with my mom's home-made pickle of another winter favourite..gaajar-gobhi-shalgham pickle (translating it would ruin the fun:)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup atta
1 1/2 cup makki atta
1 cup chopped methi
1 cup grated mooli
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 tablespoon chilli paste
Salt
1 tablespoon ajwain
1 tablespoon jeera powder
Water
Oil for cooking

No steps really..Mix together all the ingredients with the salt and leave aside for an hour ,before adding the water to knead the dough..this ensures that the dough doesn't become extra sticky later as the veggies would have already shed their water content :)
Roll out into parathas, cook on a tawa with oil and serve hot !
