- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
- 1 tablespoon oil or ghee
- Water (as needed)
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee (for cooking)
For the Chicken Filling:
- 200 grams cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions for Preparing the Dough:
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and ajwain. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
- Add Oil or Ghee: Add a tablespoon of oil or ghee to the mixture. This will keep the parathas soft.
- Add Water Gradually: Slowly add water while mixing, just enough to form a soft, smooth dough.
- Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic.
- Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Preparing the Chicken Filling:
- Cook the Filling: In a pan, heat oil and sauté the onions, green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste until golden.
- Add Spices: Add the garam masala, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for a minute, and then add the shredded chicken. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from heat and mix in the chopped coriander.
Rolling and Cooking the Parathas:
- Divide the Dough: After resting, divide the dough into small balls, about 8-10 pieces.
- Stuff the Parathas: Roll out each dough ball into a small disc. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center and fold the edges over to seal.
- Roll the Stuffed Paratha: Gently roll the stuffed dough ball into a flat paratha, dusting with dry flour to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Paratha: Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Cook the paratha for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add Butter or Ghee: Brush the cooked paratha with butter or ghee for a crispy finish.
Tips for Perfect Chicken Paratha:
- Filling Consistency: Make sure the chicken filling is moist but not too watery to prevent the dough from getting soggy.
- Rest the Dough: Don't skip the resting time to ensure that the dough is easy to work with.
- Rolling Technique: Roll the paratha evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Use Ghee or Butter: For extra flavor and crispiness, cook with ghee or butter.
