Masala Paratha is a different kind of stuffed flatbread. It is spicy and ideal for lunch or dinner.
Parathas are tasty and loved by all. They are ideal as breakfast, lunch, dinner or even brunch. They need no much accompaniments and most of all, the younger generation loves them.
Which is your favourite paratha? I have earlier shared Methi Paratha, mint paratha and the last one was potato and pea paratha. My children are happy when I make them, it’s a win-win situation for me.
Masala Paratha is spicy and different from the usual ones. The filling is a powder that is prepared and the making of it, I will be showing you now. I have put a step by step collage of the making, it will help in clearly understanding. These parathas are made in square shape unlike others.
Let’s get cooking Masala Paratha:
Ingredients:
For the dough :
- 2 cup wheat flour
- 2 teaspoon ghee

For the filling:
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed

Other ingredients:

Method:
- Take the flour in a bowl, add ghee and salt. Rub it well. Add water and knead to a stiff dough. Keep it covered for sometime.
- Grind the fennel seed, rub the carom seed between palm and mix it. Add chilli powder, garam masala and salt to it. This is the filling.
- Take a ball of dough, roll it into a thin circle, take a spoonful of the prepared stuffing, put it in the centre and spread it, take care, do not take it to the edges. Put some chopped coriander over it.
- Now, put one side and then the other. Check the picture below which I have put. Then roll it more than half and the other side covers it.

- Smear oil and turn to the other side, cook until golden spots are visible.
