Ingredients

2

2 pieces Onions, Fine Diced

1 piece Green chili, Fine Diced

1 teaspoon Cumin seeds

half teaspoon Turmeric powder

half teaspoon Red chili powder

half teaspoon Garam masala

Salt as per taste

Tips

Ensure the dough is soft and pliable for easier rolling.

Cook the parathas on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.

Directions

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add chopped onions and green chili (if using). Sauté until onions turn translucent.

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly. Stir in chopped coriander leaves.

Assemble and Cook

Ingredients

2

Directions

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Take one dough ball and roll it out into a small circle (about 5-6 inches in diameter) on a floured surface.

Place a generous amount of onion filling in the center. Bring the edges together and seal the filling inside the dough.

Gently flatten the filled dough ball and roll it out into a circle (about 7-8 inches in diameter), dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Heat a griddle or tawa over medium-high heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot griddle.

Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, applying ghee or oil on both sides until golden brown spots appear.

Repeat with the remaining dough balls and filling.

Serve hot stuffed onion parathas with yogurt, pickle, or chutney of your choice.
