Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Combine wheat flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for at least 15 minutes.

Make the Filling

  • In a separate bowl, combine chopped onions, mixed vegetable pickle (if using), garam masala, red chili powder, coriander powder, and turmeric powder. Mix well.

Assemble the Parathas

  • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the onion filling in the center.

Seal and Roll

  • Bring the edges of the dough together, pinching to seal the filling completely. Gently flatten the sealed ball into a thick circle, then roll it out into a thin paratha using a rolling pin.

Cook the Parathas

  • Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil. Cook the paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Apply a little oil to both sides during cooking for added crispiness.

Serve

  • Serve the hot Punjabi Onion Parathas with your favorite accompaniments like yogurt, pickle, butter, or chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Parathas

  • For extra flaky parathas, let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Don't over-stuff the parathas; this can make them difficult to seal and cook evenly.
  • Use a little dry flour on your rolling surface to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust the amount of spices in the filling to match your preference. A little ginger paste adds a lovely zing.
