MEXICAN PARATHA
This is my sister in law's all time favourite dish and now being in Bangalore, whenever i make this, i seriously miss her.. :(
Since the ingredients are readily available, it can be made for guests who come at a very short notice!!
Ingredients:
For the dough-

• Plain flour- 1 cup
• Oil- 1 tbsp
• Warm water for kneading
• Salt- 1/2 tsp

For the stuffing- 

• Finely chopped tomatoes- 1/2 cup
• Finely chopped onions- 1 cup
• Finely chopped coriander leaves- 2 tbsp
• Finely chopped green chillies- 1
• Cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
• Black pepper- 1/2 tsp
• Salt to taste
• Oil/Ghee/Unsalted butter to cook the parathas

Method:

• Make a soft dough, cover and keep aside for half an hour.
• For the stuffing, mix the ingredients together and keep aside.
• Roll out a 3" diameter paratha with the dough and put the filling in the centre of the paratha.
• Bring the corners of the paratha together and seal it with a little water.
• Dust it with plain flour and lightly roll the parathas into 5" diameter parathas.
• Cook on a hot and greased tawa(gridle) using oil/ghee/butter until golden brown on both the sides.
• Garnish with a cube of butter and serve immediately with tomato ketchup or coriander chutney.

Note: Instead of making a single paratha and stuffing and re rolling it, two very thin rotis can be made. The stuffing can be spread lightly onto one of the rotis and the other roti can be covered on it. The sides of the rotis can be sealed together using a little water.And then this can be cooked as above.
To make the dish healthy, instead of making the dough with plain flour(maida) completely, wheat flour(gehun ka atta) and plain flour can be mixed in equal proportion.
