Besan Paratha

Besan Paratha or Gram Flour Chapati is a heavy and hard than normal chapati, served along with curd/ sabzi/ pickles, this has an unforgettable taste, however the chapati is smaller in shape than the normal flour chaphti but better in taste, so lets go for Besan paratha.

Ingrediends:-

1. Besan ( Gram Flour)1/2 Cup


2. Atta ( Wholemeal Flour) 1/2 Cup


3. Hing (Asafoetida) 1 pinch


4. Red Chilli Powder 1/2 Teaspoon


5. Jeera ( Cumin Seeds)


6. Salt to taste


7. Coriander - finely chopped


8. Cooking Oil 4 tablespoons


9. Finely chopped Onion - 1 Medium sized.

Process:-

• Mix the Besan and Atta together in a mixing bowl.




• Add the Chilli Powder, Turmeric Powder, Asafoetida, Cumin Seeds, Coriander and the Chopped Onion in it.




• Make a dough using little warm water.




• You can add about 1 Tablespoon of oil in the dough in a square shape ( roughly)




• Once it is rolled spread some oil on it.




• Fold all the sides and you would end up with a folded square in your hand.




• Roll this small square again into a bigger square.




• Put this paratha onto a heated Tava or Pan.




• Once one side is cooked change its side and brush some oil on the already cooked surface.




• Once the other side is cooked change the side again and brush the oil on the second side as well.




• Let it cook further and change sides ( The idea is that once you apply the oil to a side, it must be cooked again to give you the crispiness.Serve it with Yoghurt and pickle.
