Khameeri Roti with sourdough discard

I am really enjoying my Sourdough journey. These are indian flat breads made with discard .Khameer means fermentation and roti is flat breads. So these are flat breads made with fermented dough...hence the name Khameeri Roti.

If you don't have ajwain seeds (carrom seeds), you can use oregano.
