Moong dal Paratha:
Dhall Roti. Dal Roti. Lentil’s Chappathi. Lentil’s Roti.
When I was studying in New Delhi, my hostel cook…Kamalesh Roy cooked this for breakfast!! Some of you guessed it already, yeah…he fixed it with left over dhall!! According to me he is a gifted cook! A real cook doesn’t like to waste food…its their hard work, right!! He turned that leftover into a beautiful menu(mouth watering parathas). I really appreciate his talent! During my stay, I learnt lot of recipes and method of cooking through his food!! Thanks Kamelesh!!!
Today, I prepared the same recipe with freshly prepared lentil’s though. As my signature…I retained the lentils bit intact, cooked but intact!! This will give a texture to the roti!! Hope you all will like this!!!
Ingredients:
All purpose flour 2 cups
Flour for dusting
Oil for smearing and toasting the bread.
For Dhall:
Moong dal/ mung dal 1/2 cup
Salt
Green chilies 1 chopped
Onion 1 chopped
Ginger-Garlic paste 1 spoon
Turmeric 1 pinch
Cilantro leaves few chopped
Cumin seeds 1 spoon
Oil few spoons.
Method:
In a pressure pan, heat oil. Add cumin, chilies, ginger-garlic and onions. Fry real good.
Add salt, turmeric and lentils to it. Further add 1 cup of water and pressure cook the same.
In a wide bowl, bring flour. Add the above cooked lentil’s soup to it. Mix well…bring them into tough dough.
Make equal parts out of it. Roll them into thin chappathis.
Hea the skillet, smear oil. Toast the chappathis on both the sides, till golden color. Enjoy with an accompaniment of curry/korma.
Caribbean cooking has a Dal roti too, isn’t that cool? Dal roti looks delicious, a meal itself. A bit of yogurt on the side, you are all set. good one Malar!
