Ingredients
- 1 cup boiled Kabuli chana white chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons boiled and mashed potato
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder or green chillies
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin-coriander powder
- 1 pinch turmeric powder
- 1 cube grated cheese optional, but highly recommended
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 bowl prepared wheat flour dough kneaded with water and a little salt
- 3 tablespoons of oil ghee, or butter for roasting
Instructions
- Soak the Kabuli chana overnight in 2 cups of water.
- In the morning, boil the chana in a pressure cooker for 4 whistles with a little salt until they become very soft.
- Drain all the water and mash the boiled chana perfectly using a masher or a quick pulse in a mixer until they are smooth like paste.
- Add 2 tablespoons of boiled potato to the mashed chana. This helps bind the Kabuli Chana Paratha Recipe filling together.
- Mix in the finely chopped onion, fresh coriander, and grated cheese.
- Add the dry spices: chaat masala, garam masala, red chilli powder, cumin-coriander powder, turmeric, and a little salt. Mix everything well.
- Take a small portion of the wheat flour dough and shape it into a small bowl with your fingers.
- Fill the centre with 2 to 3 spoons of the chana stuffing and close the dough tightly.
- Dust the dough ball with dry flour and roll it out gently using a rolling pin. Do not press too hard.
- Heat a tawa (pan) and roast the paratha on a medium flame for 2 minutes on each side. Apply ghee or butter until both sides puff up and turn golden and crispy.
