Onion paratha / Pyaz ka paratha is one of the easiest of all stuffed parathas, all you need is just flour, raw onion and coriander leaves and you will be all set for tasty paratha/paranthas. I’m a big fan of raw onions and how can I say no this… I tasted these in my friend Kavi’s house when they hosted a potluck and immediately fell in love. Ever since I was bugging her for the recipe and finally got it for all of us to try….. Original recipe had half maida and half whole wheat flour… no wonder they tasted yummy. I tried them with whole wheat and did seem to like it too… 😉

Divide the dough into equal sized dough balls and roll out each dough ball into a thick chapati. Place in some of the onion stuffing in the center.
Gather the edges and pinch the dough to seal it as shown.
Dust some flour and roll out as a paratha.
Heat a tawa and fry the paratha over medium high flame.
Once it browns on one side, flip to the other side and cook again.
Flip one more time to cook evenly on both sides.
Drizzle ghee or oil depending on your preference.
Once done remove from pan and repeat the same for the rest of the dough and finish. Serve hot with plain curd on side or some spicy gravy of your choice.
