- 3 tsp green chillies finely chopped
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp garam masala powder

To make the dough
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp oil

- 3 tbsp oil/ghee for roasting the parathas
Instructions
Preparing the stuffing
- In a pan, heat oil and add green chillies, ginger garlic paste and onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes
- Add all the masalas ( cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and salt)
- Saute until the onions are translucent and switch off the flame. Garnish with coriander and the stuffing is ready.
- Let the stuffing cool down completely.
Preparing dough
- To prepare the dough, mix flour, salt, oil and some water.
- Knead a soft and smooth dough by adding more water if required.
- Cover and aside the dough for 10-15 minutes.
Preparing Onion Parathas
- Make medium sized balls from the dough.
- Roll a medium sized dough into 2-3 inch diameter disc with a rolling pin by dusting some wheat flour.
- Place the Onion stuffing in the center and bring together all the edges of the dough and seal it in the center and press downwards.
- Sprinkle some more flour and roll it into a 6-7 inch diameter paratha.
- Roast it on a pan ( tawa) by adding some oil/ ghee on both the sides until the paratha is evenly browned.
- The parathas are ready! Serve it with some yoghurt and pickle or a vegetable curry.
Notes
- Make sure that the onions are finely chopped. Otherwise, the parathas may tear while rolling.
- Dough should not be tight. It will be difficult to roll the parathas.
- While preparing the stuffing, make sure all the water evaporates because onion sweats after adding salt to it.
