MIRCHI KA PARATHA

Learnt this yummy paratha from my mom-in-law.. Though i remember eating this during my school days also but ate this after ages after getting married.. tastes best with besan ki kadhi, though i eat it without anything if its hot.. really simple to make and really yummy to eat.

Makes 2 parathas

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour(gehun ka atta)- 1 small bowl
• Bengal gram flour(besan)- 4 tbsp
• Red chilli powder- 2 tbsp(more red chilli powder can also be used, if you can eat it very spicy)
• Cumin seeds- 2 tbsp
• Salt to taste
• Oil- 4 tbsp
• Loose wheat flour for sprinkling
• Oil for cooking

Method:

• Make a dough using water and keep aside for 15 minutes.
• Roll a 6" diameter paratha(make sure its thinner than stuffed parathas but thicker than a normal chapati).
• Put a heap of besan in the centre of the paratha and make a hollow space and put salt, cumin seeds, red chilli powder and oil in that hollow hole.
• Using your finger tip, mix the ingredients on tha paratha itself and then spread it evenly on the whole paratha.
• Sprinkle some wheat flour all over the spread and then fold the paratha like a fan and roll into a ball and then roll a 5" diameter paratha again.
• On a heated tawa, using oil, fry the paratha on both sides adjusting the flame as required.
• Cook both sides very well till it becomes little crispy.
• Serve hot!!
