Channa dal paratha

Simple Indian food is glad to introduce two new series about food bloggers shortly.

The first one would be about successful and popular food bloggers who would be sharing lots of information about themselves and their blogs.

The second one would be to introduce new bloggers (those blogging from Jan '09) and promote their blogs through Simple Indian Food.

Food bloggers interested in promoting their blogs, please mail me a short description about your blog, the cuisine you specialize and your objective in blogging to easycrafts@gmail.com





Ingredients

2 cups wheat flour
Salt to taste
Oil

For stuffing-
1 cup bengalgram dal (soaked for 3 hrs)
Salt to taste
Finely chopped coriander leaves
1 finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder

Make a soft dough of flour, salt and water. Keep covered for atleast 1/2 hour.

Cook the bengalgram dal with just enough water till soft. Cool and grind it coarsely. Heat 1 tsp oil, add the onions, dal paste, salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and garam masala powder and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add finely chopped coriander leaves. Cool and make balls of it.


Make balls of the dough. Roll out into a thick poori, place the stuffing in the center and cover it with the dough from all sides. Dust with some flour and roll out into thick parathas. Cook on hot tava with oil/ghee as required till brown spots appear and cooked on both sides.

Serve hot with curd and pickles.
