Prepare a paste by grinding a handful of fresh mint leaves, 2-3 green chilies, 1 inch ginger, and 5-6 garlic cloves until finely blended.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour.

Add 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil to the flour mixture and mix well.

Incorporate the prepared mint paste into the flour mixture.

Add extra water as needed, using any leftover water from the grinder to avoid waste, and knead into a semi-soft dough.

Grease the dough with a little oil and cover it to rest for 15 minutes.

Prepare a spice mix in a small bowl by combining 1/2 tablespoon red chili powder, 1/4 tablespoon turmeric powder, 1/2 tablespoon coriander powder, 1/2 tablespoon cumin powder, 1/2 tablespoon garam masala, and 1/2 tablespoon chaat masala, mixing well.

After resting, check the dough and knead it gently again.

Take a medium-sized portion of the dough and roll it into a round shape, dusting with dry flour as needed.

Brush oil on the rolled dough and sprinkle some dry flour on top.

Sprinkle the prepared spice mix over the dough.

Fold the dough into pleats and then roll it again into a round shape, ensuring it's slightly thicker this time.

Heat a skillet until hot, then place the rolled paratha on it and cook both sides until they begin to brown.

Add oil, ghee, or butter to fry the paratha after it has been cooked on both sides.

Serve the paratha with plain yogurt or ketchup.
