Notes
I have added 1/2 tsp red chili powder as ajwain seeds also has a spicy taste however you can adjust the taste as per your liking.
This paratha tastes good even if you skip using garlic.
Generally you will not need additional water for dough kneading as yogurt and fenugreek leaves provides enough liquid. However you can add little water for kneading the dough.
