Pyaz ka Paratha (Onion Stuffed Indian Bread)

ADVERTISEMENTS

Onion paratha is delicious with onion flavor. Like onion uthappam, stuffed parathas can be made with onion and spices. I mix cumin powder, garam masala powder and dry mango powder in the finely chopped onion for stuffing. I also use boiled potato to bind onion.

My children love this onion flavored parathas. Onion is known as Pyaz in Hindi and as Vengayam in Tamil.

Ingredients

• Onion – 5 no
• Potato – 1 no
• Green chilli – 2 no
• Salt – as per taste
• Garam masala – ½ tea spoon
• Cumuin powder – ½ tea spoon
• Dry mango powder – ½ tea spoon
• For dough
  • Whole wheat flour – 2 cup
  • Salt – pinch
  • Oil – for frying parathas

Method

• Dough for paratha: Knead the flour with enough water; apply few drops of oil on the surface and keep aside.

• Stuffing for paratha: Finely chop onion, green chilli (I did it in food processor); boil potato; add dry masalas, salt and boiled potato; mix them well; now stuffing is ready.

• Stuffing of paratha: Now divide the dough into small parts; take one and shape like a cup; fill the stuffing, close the edges; roll and pat it gently in your palm.

• Sprinkle some dry flour on the rolling board and roll them to a bigger disc.

• Put it on a hot skillet, cook both sides; apply light oil on the surface.

• Repeat the process for remaining dough also. Serve hot with raitha or chutney.

• Here is a partly peeled paratha to show the stuffing inside.

Tips

• For 5 to 6 onions, I use one potato for binding.
• Finely chopped spring onion also can be used for stuffing.
