Indian Bread with Nigella/Onion Seeds


Having a yearning for Indian breads, I made up a paratha dough recipe (this time with whole wheat bread flour- I don't recommend- whole wheat pastry flour was much better).

Pushing little pieces of dough flat, I brushed with some ghee (clarified butter that tastes amazing) and sprinkled charnushka/nigella/black onion seeds (I'm not sure what to call them), then folded over and rolled flat.

These cook quickly in a dry hot pan and look a little like tortillas. While they taste good on their own, they are even better with curry and yogurt/onion/mint raita.

I made these in the afternoon and served with dinner, just warm in the microwave
To warm, heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds.
