Onion Paratha
Onion paratha is a stuffed flatbread that's crisp on the outside and filled with a flavour-packed onion mix inside. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch or a quick bite. Pair it with yoghurt, chutney or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying and comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 250 g Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 medium Onions finely chopped
- 2 tsp Fresh Coriander finely chopped
- 1 tsp Green Chilli finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil for dough
- 50 ml Water approximate, for kneading
- 20 ml Vegetable Oil or Ghee for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil.
- Gradually add water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
- Mix the chopped onions, coriander, green chilli, cumin seeds, garam masala, and red chilli powder in a separate bowl.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball.
- Flatten one ball slightly, then roll it out into a small circle (about 10 cm diameter).
- Place 2 tbsp of the onion mixture in the centre of the dough circle.
- Fold the edges over the filling to encase it completely, pinching the edges to seal.
- Gently roll the stuffed ball into a flat circle, about 15 cm diameter. Be careful not to let the filling spill out.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil or ghee.
- Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown spots appear and the paratha is cooked through.
- Repeat for all parathas, adding oil as needed. Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.
