Notes
If you do not have garlic, you can make these parathas with only ginger as well.
I have used whole cumin seeds but you can use jeera powder in their place.
Do not add water while blending or kneading the dough because tomatoes already have a lot of moisture.
You may also add chaat masala powder, amchur or lemon juice to the dough for a unique tangy twist to the paratha.
The dough for paratha should be soft. If you want to make puris, add cooking oil to it.
