1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, gram flour, chopped onions, green chilies, and all the dry spices including crushed coriander seeds and ajwain.

Add 2 tablespoons of ghee and mix well with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Gradually add warm water and knead into a firm, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal-sized lemon balls and roll each ball into a thick circle using dusting flour.
5
Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium flame and place the rolled roti on it.

Cook until small bubbles appear, flip, and apply ghee generously on the surface.

Press gently with a flat spatula and roast until both sides are crisp and golden brown with characteristic dark spots.
