Gahat Dal Paratha

 


Paratha are one if the most popular unleavened flatbread in the indian subcontinent. Made with wheat flour dough on a tava by frying or shallow frying.
It can be plain or stuffed. 
Most popular is aloo paratha.
There is are many varieties of stuffed paratas like aloo, paneer, pyaz, mooli and many more. 
When we use leafy vegetables like palak, bathua, methi we kneed it with flour that's gives it nice crispy and crunchy texture. 
But for stuffing we make a mixture and stuff it in small balls then roll it and make paratha. 
Dal Paratha are very healthy.
Dal is rich in protein. Gahat dal has many nutritious values.
Gahat dal is also known as kulath ki dal and in english it is called horse gram. 
It is highly beneficial for removing kidney stones.
You can make simple dal like whole masoor. But I love to make something different so made paratha by using this dal.
Onion is optional  you can make it without onion and garlic I always love to add some chopped garlic in my stuffed paratas.
