Method
Take wheat flour and salt in a bowl,pour water little by little and form a soft dough.
Divide the dough into equal size balls.Dust the board with some flour and roll out a ball into a thin paratha.Brush some melted butter on top and sprinkle some red chilly powder,jeera powder,turmeric powder and a pinch of salt,using your fingers spread the masala powders evenly on the paratha.
Dust some flour on top and from one corner start to pleat the dough till you reach the end ( see picture).Slightly stretch the pleated dough and roll it into a coil and tuck the end under the coil and press.Sprinkle some garlic and spring onions in the middle of the coiled dough and press,dust the coil with flour and gently roll it out to a semi thick paratha.Do not give pressure while rolling.
