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.

 Potato Seekh Kebab

Its a seekh potato corn kebab, as the name suggests it requires a seekh also known as a skewer in english. I have used a wooden skewer, if u are also going to use the same then soak it in water for about 4 to 6 hours before using. Its said that if wooden skewers are soaked in water then it won't catch fire. But the debate is still going on. To be on safer side I always get it soaked. 

For making kebabs generally charcoal or electric barbeques are used but if you dont have it then make it on your non stick tawa as I did. Lets move on to our recipe now.

I have tried the hash browns with pizza toppings and hence I have named it Hash Brown Mini Pizza.

You can make it for your brunch, your house parties or even for the kids birthday parties. I made it for my house party and it became the highlight of the day.

For making these hash brown mini pizza, you need to make the hash browns really crisp and it should be a thin layer. So while making the hash browns take a small portion of the grated potatoes and spread them to form a thin layer.

You can even sprinkle the potatoes directly on to the pan instead of shaping it on your hands. It has to be a thin layer of crisp hash browns with corns, capsicum, onion, black olives all mixed in the delicious pizza sauce and then topped with lots of cheese. Wowww..now this would be one such dish you could not end up having just one.

So, let us have a look on how to make this hash brown mini pizza.

Servings: 4 Hash Brown Mini Pizza

Ingredients: 

For hash browns:

4 medium sized Potatoes

1 Tbsp Butter

Salt and Pepper to Taste

For Topping:

1/4 cup boiled sweet corn kernels

1 small Onion (finely chopped)

1 small Green Capsicum (finely chopped)

8 to 10 Black Olives (sliced)

2 Tbsp Pizza Sauce

4 Cheese Slices



Method:

We would first prepare the topping by mixing the corn, onion, green capsicum in pizza sauce and keep it aside.

Make the topping mix

Peel the potatoes and wash them. Pat dry them with a kitchen towel.

Grate them with a grater. Squeeze out the water from the potatoes by pressing them with your hands.

Now, add salt and pepper to taste. Remember we are using salted butter for frying so add in salt accordingly.

Heat butter in a pan. Take a small portion of the grated potatoes and give it a round shape. You can also apply oil to your hands before shaping the grated potatoes. The hash browns should form a thin layer. Put it in the pan and press it gently with a spatula. Let it cook on medium flame. It will take time as the potatoes are non starchy. And hence would be crisp.

Flip it once the bottom has turned nice golden brown.
Spread the topping that we have mixed with pizza sauce on the hash browns. 

Spread the topping on hash brown

Then place the black olives on the top.

Place the black olives

And finally put the cheese. 

Put cheese on top and cover it

Cover the hash brown so that the cheese would melt and by the time the other side of the hash would also be cooked to nice golden brown and crisp. And your hash brown mini pizza's are ready.
