Leftover dal paratha recipe | Leftover dal roti recipe
Leftover dal paratha recipe: Mix dal with flour, spices, and herbs, knead dough, roll into parathas, and cook until golden.
Ingredients
1 cup = 250 ml
- 2 cup any leftover cooked dal (we have green moong dal)
- 3 to 4 cup Whole wheat flour (quantity may vary depending upon dal consistency)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 2 green chilies (chopped)
- 2 tbsp dry pomegranate seeds/anardana
- 1 tsp kasuri methi
- 1 tsp carom seeds/ajwain
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp dry mango powder/amchur
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Take a wide and deep bowl and add dal in it.
- Also add onion, green chilies, dry pomegranate seeds/anardana and kasuri methi.
- Then add dry spices like carom seeds/ajwain, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, dry mango powder/amchur and salt.
- Give them a good mix.
- Now start adding whole wheat flour, but little at a time, and keep mixing.
- The flour has to be added as much as that can make a normal dough.
- Knead the dough for 2-4 minutes like a normal roti dough but this dough has to be more tight because later onion will also release it's water.
- Put the dough in a greased bowl, apply oil on it and rest for 10 minutes by covering.
- For making paratha, punch a piece of dough and roll it like a normal paratha. You can give it any shape.
- Cook on tawa from both sides by applying oil on it.
- Enjoy with pickle and tea or anyways you like.
Notes
- No hard and fast rule as to the use of particular dal. Pick any you have in the leftover.
- There's no strict rule as to the quantity of dal. Use as much you want to but accordingly the amount of other ingredients will also change.
- We used almost 3 and half cups of whole wheat flour but it may vary depending on the quantity & the consistency of dal.
