Daal Paratha



















Parantha is a key punjabi dish. There are different varieties which i will keep posting. For now , here's daal parantha.

Ingredients:

1C Leftover daal (any daal except chhole/rajma)
2C wheat flour
1/2C onion, finely chopped
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ajwain
ghee
salt to taste

Method

1) In wheat flour, add the left over daal in parts and knead. dont add all the daal at once or else the dough will become too sticky.

2) also add chopped onion, ajwain, chili powder and salt. Add more water if the dough is dry.

3) Knead until the dough starts leaving your hand and sticking to itself.

4)Make small balls, about 14-15, from the dough. With a rolling pin , roll each ball into a round tortilla shape.

5) Put the tortilla onto a tava and let it cook on both sides. Apply ghee on both sides.

6) Serve hot with butter or pickle.
