Parathas are one of the quintessential foods of India that are often enjoyed for breakfast or as a midday snack. This moong dal paratha tastes fantastic and is filling. Here's a recipe for you to try:
1 cup moong dal, cooked 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp grated ginger 2 green chopped chillies 1/2 tsp turmeric powder Salt to taste Water (as needed) Ghee or oil for cooking
Mix flour with a pinch of salt and water to make a soft dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
In a pan, heat oil. Add cumin, ginger, and chillies. Add cooked moong dal, turmeric, and salt. Cook until the mixture is dry, and let it cool.
Divide dough and filling into equal parts. Roll dough into small discs, place filling in the centre, and seal. Roll out gently.
Heat a tawa or skillet. Cook parathas on both sides with ghee/oil until golden brown. Enjoy hot with yoghurt or pickle.
