Masoor Dhal Paratha


Today's recipe is a healthy,protein rich and simple to make parathas which can be made with the left over cooked dhal.
I usually make this paratha for dinner and use the dhal which I cooked for lunch.To make it more flavorful I add the kasoori methi to the dhal and mix it with the flour.
This paratha is a healthy option for lunch which doesn't need any special side dish,yogurt and pickle tastes awesome with this paratha.Now to the recipe..............

                                  Pressure cook the dhal with enough water and cook it till it becomes soft,keep aside.
Heat a pan with 2tsp of oil and crackle the cumin seeds and asafoetida,add the chopped onion,curry leaves and green chilly.Saute it till transparent now add the cooked dhal,turmeric powder salt.Let it cook for one boil.
Finally add the kasoori methi,chopped coriander leaves and aamchur powder and put off the stove.Let the dhal cool completely.
Once the dhal cools down add it to the wheat flour with a pinch of salt and mix it to a soft,piable dough without adding water.
Divide the dough into equal balls and roll it on a floured surface to a circle to desired thickness.
Heat a griddle and cook both sides till golden spots appear on the paratha,drizzle a tsp of oil.
Serve it with yogurt and pickle.

  • Any type of dhal can be used,make sure the dhal should be thick and not thin.
  • While cooking the dhal in the pressure cooker do not add too much of water.
  • Instead of kasoori methi,fresh methi leaves can be added along with the onion while sauteing.
  • To make it more healthier grated carrot can also be added in the dhal.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
