PAPAD PARATHA

Papad  paratha  wow ! what  is  this  are  you  thinking  like  this  . Ya ! me too when I heard  this word when I  ate  this for  my  first  time . I told  that  all  my  friends  are  Rajasthanies  / Marwadies  , so  my  child hood  mostly  went  by tasting  their  food  mostly  other than  our  Andhra  recipes .  

This is  papad  paratha  learnt  from  my  friend .

1. Wheat flour - 1 glass
2. Oil - 1 tsp
3. salt  to  taste

4. Salt 
5. Butter - 1/2  tsp
6. Cilantro / coriander - 1/2 cup {wash and  finely chop}

• Ghee / Butter for  frying 

Method for  preparation = 

• First  we  prepare  dough , take  a mixing bowl  add all ingredients and  mix  with hands and  by using enough water keand the dough soft , and  cover  the  dough with muslin cloth and keep aside for 10 - 15 mint's .

By  the  time  we  prepare  filling 

• Heat  butter in a pan and  saute  the  onion  till they become transparent 

• Remove  from  flame  and  take  to a bowl  and  keep  aside 

• Combine  the  sauted onions , crushed papad , chilli powder , chopped  cilantro and  salt  and  mix  lightly 

 

   

Now  the  filling  is  ready  so  lets  do  paratha - 

• Prepare  equal  portions  of  balls  with  the  prepared  dough  &  take  one  portion of  dough  and Roll  out  the  dough into a circle to poori size  like  this .......... and  place  2 tsp  of  papad  filling  in  the  center of  the  dough  circle ................................

• Bring  together all  the  sides in the center  and  seal  tightly {press  them  with  fingers}

                                                                               

  

• Roll  out   again  into  a  circle   with  the  help  of   rolling  pin by  dusting  with dry  flour .

• Fry / cook the  paratha  on   a tava  which  is  heated  before  only  while  rolling  paratha  .......... fry  the  paratha  using  little  butter  one  one  side  and  turn  to  other  side  and  add 1 tsp  butter  and fry  to  golden  color  and  serve  hot .
