Heat ghee in a kadhai, add makhanas, and roast till golden or until crispy. Once it’s crispy and not chewy, that’s the right stage. Switch off and cool down. Transfer to a mixer jar and grind it to a fine powder.
In another mixing bowl take all other ingredients (except oil) along with makhana powder.
The first mix well with a spoon, then add water and knead it to a soft pliable dough. Allow it to rest for 15 mins at least. Then knead again and form a ball.
Take a ball and start rolling. Dust flour if needed to avoid sticking.
Roll to thin paratha and keep it ready.
Heat the Tawa and then carefully transfer the paratha.
Cook till small bubbles starts to appear, then flip to the other side and cook until brown spots appear here and there. Flip again if needed. Serve hot smeared with ghee.
