Recipe for Besan Paratha
Ingredients
- ½ cup Besan (Gram Flour)
- ½ cup Atta
- 1-1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 4 pinches Asafetida
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 medium-sized Onion (finely chopped)
- Salt to taste
- Ghee to shallow fry
Cooking Directions
Mix all the ingredients except ghee in a bowl and knead it into soft dough using warm water. Cover the dough with a muslin cloth and leave it for 15 minutes.
After the desired time period, divide the dough into equal portions and roll out each portion into a small circle. Now apply a little ghee in the center of each circle and fold all the adjoining sides. Roll out the above into a bigger circle and place it on a heated griddle.
Once paratha is cooked on one side, turn it over; apply ghee on the cooked side. Now allow to cook the other side and repeat the same process till both sides are properly cooked.
Put off the flame and serve Besan Paratha with curd or pickle
