Stuffed Dal Paratha

How To Make Chana Dal Stuffed Paratha:

For Stuffing:

• Wash and boil chana dal (bengal gram) in cooker for 2 whistle. Dal should not be over cooked and soft as we will make powder of it but it should be cooked. If required give one more whistle to it but mine took 2 whistle.
• Remove the boiled dal and keep aside for coming to room temperature.
• Now grind the dal to fine powder and keep aside.
• Heat a pan or kadhai. Add 3-4 tablespoon oil.
• Once oil is heated add 1/4 teaspoon hing,  1 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chilly powder, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder and 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder.
• Now add powdered dal and mix.
• Put salt to dal and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  Switch off the flame and remove the dal in one plate or a bowl.

For Paratha Dough:

• Now take 1 cup wheat flour and knead a soft dough with the help of water.
• Divide the dough into small equal portion.
• Heat tawa for parathas.
• Take one small portion of dough and give it a small lemon shape.
• Press it slightly at the centre and all sides with your finger to give it a deep small bowl shape.
• Stuff in dal mixture in it. Seal all the sides with your thumb and finger.
• Now coat it with dry flour from both the sides and roll it to round paratha with gentle roll.
• Don’t make it thin as your stuffing might come out.
• Roll gently and make round paratha.
  Place it on the tawa.
• Once it is slightly cooked from one side flip the paratha on other side.
• Now apply oil or ghee on the paratha and flip again. So you have to apply oil and ghee on both the sides one by one and cook paratha till it turns crisp.
  Repeat the process and make all parathas similarly.
