Why recepie famous for?
Parathas are sustaining and wholesome. Parathas served for breakfast with curds and a pickle are the staple food for most north indians. I actually came across this recipe quite accidentally while preparing a batch of pepper cheese sticks to serve with soup for dinner. I was left with a portion of the same dough, which on the following morning, i rolled out and cooked on a tava (griddle) like a paratha. The parathas surprisingly tasted much better than the soup sticks i had for dinner. So here is the recipe which you must try. These parathas taste best when they are served as soon as they are prepared.
Ingredients
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup grated processed cheese
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch) powder
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1 tsp oil
1 tbsp ghee
salt to taste
Other Ingredients
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling
oil for cooking
For Serving
fresh curd
Instructions
Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes. Keep aside to cool.
Combine all the ingredients including the onions in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a 100 mm. (4â€) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook each paratha on a medium flame, using little oil, till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides.
Serve immediately with fresh curds.
