Tips –
- Flax seed readymade meal is available in the market however I would suggest to make it at home. Just take raw flax seed and grind them in the mixer grinder.
- Ensure to grate cottage cheese (paneer) finely as it will help to mix it well with the flax seed dough. If paneer is not grated finely, there will be lumps in the dough and your paratha may break while rolling.
- Always use butter paper to roll your flax seed paratha as this dough is little sticky to roll without butter paper.
