Chana Dal paratha

Ingredients:

Stuffing:
Chana Dal-1/2 cup
Water-1 cup
Onion-1/2 medium
Salt-to taste
Ajwain-1/2 tsp
Garam Masala-to taste
Amchur-to taste
Green Chillies-2-3 finely chopped

Dough:
Whole wheat flour-1 cup
Salt- a pinch
Oil- 1 tsp

Method:

1. Soak Chana dal overnight. Pressure cook with 1 cup of water for only 2 whistles. You do not want dal to be mashed. Make sure to get rid of additional water.
2. While the dal is cooking, prepare the dough as you regularly do for chapatis. Do not make the dough very soft. Rest the dough for 15 min.
3. Mix  the dal with finely chopped onion, green chillies, ajwain, salt, garam masala and amchur. Keep it aside.
4. Now take a lemon sized ball of the dough and make a small circle with rolling pin. If the dough is sticky, dust some flour on the dough.
5. Take similar size portion of dal and put it in the center. Make sure the dal doesn't have any water. Otherwise, it will make the dough soft making it difficult to roll.
6. Bring the edges together to the center and make a stuffed ball.
7. Roll it again and keep adding flour if you think the stuffing is coming out.
8. Heat the paratha on a pan and apply ghee on both sides to make the paratha tasty and soft.
9. Enjoy with pickle and yogurt.

PS: Compare the nutrition value of chana dal vs. potato. Chana dal provides more protein and fiber per serving along with carbs.
