How To Cook
For the Dough:
- 1 cup or 130 gms flour
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp baking powder
- 3-4 teaspoons melted butter
- ¼ cup cold water
Here the Filling Comes:
- 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
- ¼ white onion- finely chopped. Approximately ⅓ cup
- 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2-3 finely chopped chilies
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric powder
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For Frying:
- ¼ cup refined sunflower oil
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt with 2 teaspoons of melted butter. Form a well in between and add water.
- Stir gently till the dough comes together. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it into a smooth ball. Rub the ball in 1-2 teaspoons of butter.Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the egg, egg yolk, onion, cilantro, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the dough into rough 12 by 12 inch squares
- Place the filling in the center and spread it evenly. Note- Leave a little gap around the borders on each side
- Gently lift the left side and bring it to the center. This brings the left edge slightly to the right of the middle of the filling
- Repeat the same for the right end of the dough ensuring both sides overlap at the center. Seal the corners by gently squeezing them
- Fold the top edge of the dough, all the way to the middle, just enough to seal the filling, about 2 inches down and then seal the bottom end 2 inches up. This helps your end result take shape just like a rectangle
- In a large kadhai, heat Doctors’ Choice refined sunflower oil (low cholesterol cooking oil) over medium-high flame
- Place the paratha seam side-up and carefully spoon the hot oil over it to baste the paratha well. Fry the same for 5 minutes. Then flip the side when golden brown and repeat the same on the other side for another 5 minutes
- Cut in half into two rectangular pieces and enjoy with kasundi sauce and onion.
