DAL KA PARATHA is a wonderful way to use that leftover dal sitting your refrigerator. Both moong and chana dal work great for this recipe as they add a bite to the paratha stuffing. The recipe is super quick and easy too and popular in most Indian households.
It is a perfect weekday recipe when you are not in the mood to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and yet serve a healthy meal to your family.
This is how I do it:
INGREDIENTS:
Dal - 1/4 cup (I have used left over chana dal)
Whole Wheat Flour - 3/4 cup
Salt to taste
Coriander Cumin Powder - 1 tsp
Red Chili Powder- 1 tsp (or to taste)
Garam Masala Powder - 1 tsp
Oil or ghee to fry
PROCEDURE:
1. Take the leftover dal in a bowl. My dal was already dry but if your dal is in liquid form, saute it in an open pan for a few minutes to get rid of the excess moisture or water.
2. Add the whole wheat flour
3. Season with salt (remember the dal may already be salted) and add the coriander cumin, red chili & garam masala powders and mix.
4. Knead into a soft paratha dough. I didnt need to add any water but go ahead and add a little water if you think your dough is to dry. Cover and rest the dough for 10 minutes.
5. Heat your pan on medium high heat. Roll the dough ball into medium or desired sized parathas.
6. Place the rolled out paratha on the hot pan. Once the bubbles appear, flip and cook on the other side.
7. Apply ghee and fry on both sides till golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve hot with yogurt or pickles or enjoy as is!
