How To Make Onion Paratha / Onion Paratha Recipe / Spiced Onion Flatbread

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..

Aloo Paratha Recipe (Potato Flatbread)- The Authentic Punjabi Recipe

Aloo Paratha is one of the most common and popular parathas served for breakfast specially in North India, Punjab or we can say in almost all punjabi families. 

Aloo Paratha Recipe (Potato Flatbread)

Aloo Paratha is a flatbread which is made without using any leavening agent. It is stuffed with a mixture of potatoes and masalas, which is then rolled out and shallow fried in ghee on a hot tawa. It is served hot with homemade white butter,  curd, mango pickle and a glass of Lassi.

I make this Aloo Paratha very often sometimes even three times a week. My son loves Aloo Paratha so much that he can have it at any time of the day.

Now discussing about the ingredients, one of the main ingredients is the Anardana (Pomegranate seeds). It is used to give that little sour taste to the parathas. If it is not available you can also use Dry Mango Powder also known as Amchur Powder. Also, I added in some Ajwain as it helps in good digestion.
