Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Combine whole wheat flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Filling

  • In a bowl, combine finely chopped onions, green chilies, cilantro, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and lemon juice. Mix well.

Assemble and Cook the Parathas

  • Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the onion filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and gently press the edges to seal. Roll out the stuffed dough into a slightly thinner circle.

Cook on the Griddle

  • Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Cook the parathas on both sides, using ghee or oil, until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite sides like yogurt or pickle.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Onion Parathas

  • For extra flavor, sauté the onion filling in a little ghee or oil before adding it to the dough.
  • Don't overfill the parathas; too much filling can make them difficult to seal and cook evenly.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
  • Use a non-stick pan for easy cooking and to prevent sticking.
