Is this vegan?

Yes, this recipe is vegan. As you can see, I didn't use any dairy/meat products in this recipe. If you prefer a regular version, you could use melted butter or ghee for brushing the parathas.

A Word of Caution

Habanero peppers are very spicy and may burn your eyes if proper care is not taken while handling them. Since this recipe uses them, I would like to remind you of the same steps that I have suggested in Xnipec Salsa or Mango Habanero Salsa. While handling habanero peppers make sure to use gloves and wash your hand with soap a couple of times. This will prevent any accidental contact with eyes and prevent the burning sensation. If happened, wash with generous amount of water. Further, if you can't handle the heat, you may reduce the amount of peppers. Or, you may also substitute with any other mild peppers.

Variations

I have used a quick and basic hummus in this recipe. For flavor variations you can try with any flavored hummus like Beetroot Hummus or Chipotle Hummus. These parathas can used like a canvas and hummus adds extra flavors making it a easy meal on the go wrapped in a foil waiting for you to consume it.
