Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Scallions (green onions, finely chopped)
- 1 small Green chili (optional, finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 4 tablespoons Butter or ghee (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water and knead until a smooth and soft dough forms (this should take about 8–10 minutes). Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped red onions, scallions, optional green chili, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Set the filling aside.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a 6-inch circle. Brush the surface lightly with vegetable oil.
Spread 2–3 tablespoons of the onion-scallion filling evenly over the circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the circle inward, sealing the filling completely. Press down gently and roll the dough out again into a 6- to 7-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush with a small amount of butter or ghee.
Place one paratha onto the skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes until brown spots appear on the bottom. Flip, brush the top with melted butter or ghee, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the other side is golden.
Repeat with the remaining parathas.
Serve hot with yogurt, chutney, or pickles of your choice.
