In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, low-sodium baking powder, ground black pepper, cumin seeds, and chopped fresh coriander.
Slowly add water to the dry ingredients while mixing, until a soft and pliable dough forms. If needed, add a tablespoon more of water at a time.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough, and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a few drops of olive oil or ghee, if using, to the pan.
Place a rolled dough onto the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula.
Optionally, brush a little ghee or unsalted butter on the cooked paratha while hot for added flavor.
Repeat with remaining dough portions. Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium curry or yogurt.
