Tiranga Paratha



The name is Tiranga because of its ingredients:)

Ingredients:

Wheat flour to make dough.
1 big capsicum or 2 medium sized capsicums finely chopped
1 big onion finely chopped
1 medium sized tomato finely chopped ( don't take very juicy tomato so that it wont become soggy)
1 cup crushed paneer
1 Tsp garam masala
red chilli powder to taste
salt to taste
sugar 1/2 Tsp
mustard seeds
cumin seeds
1/2 Tsp coriander powder
1/2 Tsp cumin powder

Procedure:
  1. Prepare the wheat flour dough what we generally prepare for chapatis. Cover it with some pan and keep aside.
  2. Heat 2 Tsp oil in a pan. Once heated, add mustard seeds,cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
  3. Add chopped onion. Stir fry well till it is half cooked. Add capsicum.
  4. Once onion,capsicum are cooked well, add chopped tomato and stir well.
  5. Add salt,red chilli powder,coriander powder,cumin powder,sugar.
  6. Stir well. Add crushed paneer.
  7. Mix well.
  8. Switch off the stove.
  9. Prepare medium sized 2 balls of the dough per paratha. And roll them into small round chapatis.
  10. If the mixture is cooled down, put this mixture in the centre of one of the chapati and close it with the other one; close it well. And roll into a thick paratha.
  11. Roast it nicely crispy on Tava. Put butter on top or spread oil after it is roasted properly.
Tastes good with yoghurt or any of your favourite pickle :)
