Onion Paratha, Onion Roti, or Pyaz ka Paratha
Am running this week's blogging marathon with a theme of
using one vegetable in different ways. Since I didn't want to fall behind, I
made three different dishes with my favorite vegetable, onions. Yes, this week
I chose onion as my vegetable. When I cook, onions are a must. If I don't have
enough onions at home, I feel like I'm missing something. Yes, I could not live
without tomatoes and onions. I can easily make many different dishes with just
these two vegetables. So, I couldn't think of a better main vegetable for this
week's theme than onions. Onions are very healthy and have a lot of flavors,
whether they are raw or cooked.
Raw onions have more organic Sulphur compounds, while onions
that have been boiled are a good source of fiber and copper. It was found that
people who eat the most onions have the lowest rates of cancer. Onions also
help lower blood sugar. Onions are good for your health and nutrition in many
ways.
Coming to my recipe for today, these parathas need finely
chopped onions and chopped coriander leaves to make them taste better. Usually,
onion parathas
are made by stuffing, but these are made by adding the sautéed onions and spice
powders directly to the flour. So, these rotis don't need any other food to go
with them. We really liked this amazing paratha, which I served with a simple
vegetable kurma. Even fussy kids liked these flavorful, rich parathas. Don't
forget to give this amazing paratha a try.
2 cups of white flour
Salt
Warm water
1/2 cup of onion (chopped)
3 tablespoons of coriander leaves
1/2tsp Garam masala powder
Oil
In a pan, heat the oil and add the chopped onions. Saute the
onions until they become clear. Add the garam masala and coriander leaves, cook
for a few minutes and then turn off the heat.
Let them cool all the way down.
In the meantime, put the wheat flour, salt, and cooked
onions, and coriander leaves in a bowl. Knead the mixture until it is smooth.
Set aside for 30 minutes.
The dough should be cut into 6-7 pieces. Roll the balls into
parathas by dusting them.
