Dal Paratha Recipe / Paratha with Leftover Dal 

 

My today’s recipe is of Dal Paratha. There are various types of dal parathas which can be made. Some are made by stuffing the dal and like this one the dal is kneaded in the dough and then the parathas are rolled out.

Whenever we make dal, some of it is always left. Now what to do with this dal. So here comes a very interesting recipe where you can use your leftover dal and make a delicious meal out of it.

Dal is included in my everyday meal so whichever dal is made, the leftover can be used to make its parathas. All you need to do is add in some spices, wheat flour, knead a dough and make parathas of it.

Today I have used maa chole ki dal as called in Punjabi. Its also known as kali dal but you can also use moong dal, masoor dal, moong masoor mix, or any that is available.

For better understanding please watch the video given.
