    Spring Onion Paratha

    I love making breads. And I have been making traditional flatbread since my childhood. In fact that was one of my first attempts at cooking, as I mention in this post on my Omelette Paratha.

    If you like making bread from scratch and rolling out dough, try this popular naan recipe - Persian Barbari Bread. If you have not made flat bread before, don't let the process intimidate you. A few tries and you are on to making a healthy home made sumptuous dish for yourself and your family. Just start with this cheesy green onion paratha. And then the possibilities are endless!

    Health Benefits: Green Onions

    Green onions (young spring onions) are low in calories and carbohydrates but are a rich source of vitamins,  minerals and phytochemicals. They are an excellent source of vitamin K, thereby contributing to bone health. Green onions are also a good source of vitamin C.

    This leafy green vegetable is actually what is harvested before letting them further grow the onion bulbs. Along with other allium vegetables, green onions contain bioactive compounds that are cancer protective.

    Apart from the sulfur compounds; carotenes, flavonoids, lutein and zeaxanthin contribute to the anti cancer potential  of green onions. Some of these phytochemicals are also beneficial for eye health.

    Here is another flatbread recipe featuring a vegetable of the allium family - Sumac caramelized onion mini musakhan, where I discuss more about the health benefits of onions.

    Paratha Variations

    • In this Spring Onion Paratha recipe I have used red bell peppers, but if you want something more pungent you may try cayenne, jalapeño, anaheim peppers etc.
    • Also you could use red onions, leeks or vidalia sweet onions instead of green onions. Just make sure to chop them finely and saute along with the peppers.
    • For cheese, I have used grated Gouda cheese, but you can substitute with similar cheese, paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or Feta cheese.

    Instructions

    Make The Dough

    • Mix ½ cup water, 1 cup flour and ¼ teaspoons salt. Then add ½ teaspoon oil and knead it for about 5 minutes into a smooth dough. I use a KitchenAid stand mixer to make the dough and it works great (but you would need to double the recipe for that).
      The whole wheat dough prepared for making the egg paratha.
    • Divide the dough into four portions and shape them into round balls.

    Make The Stuffing

    • Heat two teaspoons of oil in a skillet and sauté the chopped red bell peppers with ginger, ajwain, green chilies and garam masala and set aside.
      Red bell pepper sliced sauteed in a skillet.

    Make The Stuffed Paratha

    • Roll a dough ball into a 6 inch round disc. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated cheese, 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions and 1 tablespoon of sautéed red bell peppers.
      Paratha dough topped with cheese and chopped scallions, red bell peppers.
    • From one side roll the disc into a cylindrical shape.
      Scallion partha rolled over with stuffing.
    • Then fold it into a coil shape.

    • Roll it out into a 6 inch round layered bread, using a little flour for dusting as needed.
      Stuffed paratha dough portion dusted with flour.

    Cook The Paratha

    • Heat a skillet at medium setting. The skillet is ready for cooking when you can feel the heat while holding your palm 3 inches above the skillet.
      Stuffed parathas rolled on a granite stone.
    • Place the stuffed flat bread and allow it to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip it over and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until light golden brown.
    • Flip it over. Use about ¼ teaspoon of oil for each side while cooking the stuffed paratha to doneness and golden brown.
    • Repeat the above steps for the remaining three stuffed breads. May serve this stuffed paratha with yogurt dip, chutney, pickles or ketchup.

    Notes

    1. The dough can easily be made in a stand mixer, but you may need to double the quantity of the ingredients, depending on the size of the stand mixer.
    2. Durum whole wheat flour (Atta), ajwain (carom seeds) and garam masala are available at Indian grocery stores or online.

      I love paratha - but never knew how to make it -- that's a really cool technique -- one I never would have guessed!

        Thanks Joyce. Yes, they are pretty easy. And I think if one uses some flatbread rolling out equipment it can be even more easier. Enjoy!

      Oh my, this looks amazing! I love making tortillas and pita from scratch, but have never tried a flatbread like this. I love that it incorporates some veggies!

        Thanks Monica. If you already make pita and tortillas, this is just going to be so easy for you.
