Step-By-Step Chilli Paratha Recipe
Here’s how to make the perfect Chilli Paratha:
Ingredients for Chilli Paratha:
-
2 cups whole wheat flour
-
2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
-
1 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
-
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
-
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
-
Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
-
1 tablespoon ghee or oil (for brushing)
-
Water (as needed)
Instructions for Preparing the Filling:
-
Prepare the Chili Filling: Heat a little oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and carom seeds. When the spices release their aroma, add finely chopped green chilies, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for a few minutes until the chilies soften and blend with the spices.
-
Combine with Coriander: Once cooked, remove from the heat and stir in chopped fresh coriander leaves for a burst of freshness.
-
Set Aside: Let the filling cool down before using it in the parathas.
Preparing the Paratha:
-
Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and a bit of oil. Gradually add water to form a smooth, pliable dough. Knead well and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
-
Divide the Dough: Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls.
-
Stuff the Parathas: Roll out a dough ball into a small circle, place a spoonful of the chili filling in the center, and seal the edges over the filling. Gently roll it out into a flat, round paratha.
-
Cook the Paratha: Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Cook each paratha for 1-2 minutes on both sides until golden and crisp. Brush with ghee or oil for an added richness.
Tips for Perfect Chilli Paratha:
-
Adjust the Heat: If you prefer less heat, use fewer chilies or remove the seeds from the chilies.
-
Be Gentle When Rolling: Roll the paratha carefully to prevent the filling from spilling out.
-
Ghee or Butter: For a richer flavor, use ghee or butter to brush the paratha while cooking.
