Soya-Dal Paratha is a nutritious and delicious option for breakfast. Here's a simple method to prepare it:
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup soya flour
1/4 cup cooked and mashed dal (lentils) of your choice (such as moong dal or chana dal)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (optional, adjust to taste)
Salt to taste
Water, as needed
Ghee or oil for cooking the parathas
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, soya flour, mashed dal, chopped onions, green chili (if using), turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder (if using), and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth and pliable dough. The amount of water required may vary, so add it gradually until you achieve the right consistency.
Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into balls.
Take one dough ball and dust it with some flour. Roll it out into a small circle or disc.
Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the heated tawa.
Cook the paratha on one side for a minute or until you see small bubbles forming.
Flip the paratha and drizzle some ghee or oil on the cooked side. Spread it evenly.
Cook the second side for a minute, then flip it again and drizzle ghee or oil on the other side.
Continue flipping and cooking the paratha until it turns golden brown and crispy on both sides. Press gently with a spatula while cooking to ensure even cooking.
Remove the cooked paratha from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
Serve the hot Soya-Dal Parathas with yogurt, pickle, or any chutney of your choice.
