Instructions
- 1 Prepare dough: Combine flour, salt, and water slowly to form a soft dough. Knead for 3–4 minutes and rest for 20 minutes.
- 2 Prepare the filling: Mix chopped onions, green chillies, coriander, ajwain, roasted cumin powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, amchur, and salt.
- 3 Shape & fill: Roll a dough ball into a 3-inch disc. Add 2 tbsp onion mixture in the center. Bring edges together and seal.
- 4 Roll the stuffed dough gently into a 6–7 inch paratha. Use very little flour while rolling to avoid tearing.
- 5 Cook: Place paratha on a hot tava. Flip when small bubbles appear. Apply ghee and cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
- 6 Serve hot with curd, pickle, or chutney.
Pro Tips
- 1 Add salt to the onion filling just before stuffing — onions release water quickly.
- 2 For extra flavor, add finely chopped mint leaves or sauté onions lightly.
- 3 If filling feels wet, add 1–2 tsp besan (gram flour) to absorb moisture.
