Dal Paratha Recipe / Paratha with Leftover Dal / Dal paratha with step by step photos.

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.

Onion Paratha in english would be called as Spiced Onion Flatbread. It is very easy to make with simple ingredients. Even does not require any prior preparation. Unlike my previous paratha recipes of Aloo Paratha (Potato Flatbread) and Gobi Paratha (Cauliflower flatbread) onion paratha is not the stuffed type. We would knead the onions in the dough. No need of preparing a separate stuffing.

Sometimes, when I have nothing to make for our meals, or when I am running late, at that time the onion paratha acts as a saviour, as onions are always there in our kitchen and could be made in no time. Or even when there are unexpected guests, make this onion paratha and you could serve it in breakfast with curd, or even in lunch and dinner with any dal or sabzi. 

The ingredients are very simple, the preparation is very easy. For better understanding I have uploaded the video..
