Directions

For the dough

• In a bowl add wheat flour and salt and knead into a soft dough using enough water and
• Divide the dough into equal portions and keep it aside.

For the stuffing

• Wash and soak the chana dal in enough water in a deep bowl for 1 hour and drain the water from the chana dal.
• Boil enough water in a deep non-stick pan, add the chana dal and salt and mix it well and cook on a medium flame for 20 minutes or till the dal is cooked.
• Strain the cooked dal by using a strainer and keep it aside to cool slightly and once cooled, blend it in a mixer to a coarse mixture.
• Transfer the mixture into a bowl, add onions, chopped coriander, garam masala, dried mango powder, green chili paste, salt, and sugar and mix it nicely.
• Divide the stuffing into equal portions and keep it aside

How to proceed

• Roll a portion of the dough into a 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle by using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
• Place a portion of the stuffing in the center of the circle and bring together all the sides in the center and seal it tightly.
• Roll again into a circle of 125 mm. (5”) diameter circle by using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
• Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) and cook the paratha on a medium flame, by using a little oil, fry till golden brown spots appear on both the sides.
• Serve this hot paratha with a pickle.

• At step 3 for the stuffing, cook the chana dal till it is just tender and not overcooked or mushy.
