Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, combine barley flour, chopped green chilli, chopped onion, and salt.

Barley Paratha
Notes/ Precautions
Knead well – Barley flour can be a bit coarse, so ensure the dough is kneaded thoroughly for a smoother texture and easy rolling.
Use water gradually – Add water little by little while kneading to avoid a sticky dough.
Resting time helps – Allowing the dough to rest softens it, making rolling easier and improving the final texture.
Cook on medium heat – To ensure even cooking without burning, use medium heat when toasting the paratha on the pan.
