You can add most vegetables or dal to make parathas. I have already posted a version of nutritious aloo paratha here. The difference in this is...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/03/aloo-paratha-potato-flatbread.html/feed 1 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/dal-makhani-paratha.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/dal-makhani-paratha.html#comments Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:00:28 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=19988 Parathas are Indian flat bread and are very versatile. I once ended with a ton of leftovers of dal makhani and did not want to freeze it. Was stumped for a while and parathas came to the rescue; the dal got transformed into something filling and tasty.

Sweet potato as the name says is “sweet” for my taste buds and the only way I could finish it off was by adding it to parathas. Hence these parathas were...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/04/sweet-potato-paratha.html/feed 1 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/08/onion-paratha-indian-flat-bread.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/08/onion-paratha-indian-flat-bread.html#comments Sun, 17 Aug 2014 04:53:17 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=14878 This is a flat bread made with whole wheat flour and onions. I tasted this first at my friend’s house and got the recipe from her. Since we add the onions to the dough, there is no stuffing involved. The onions give a mild sweet taste to this yummy bread.

You could also stuff it with various fillings and this time it is our favorite peas and paneer (Indian cheese). You can make paneer at home or buy it from the store.

You could use frozen parottas to simplify the process greatly. For Kothu Parotta, you chop the parottas into small pieces and add them to a mixture of vegetables and spices.
