How To Make Spring Onion Paratha?
Spring Onion Paratha- A flavorful twist to the regular plain parathas. Tastes best with yogurt and pickles.
Spring onion paratha is an easy flatbread that is made out of whole wheat flour dough into which spring onions are added. This spring onion paratha makes a great tiffin box treat and tastes delicious with any pickle or plain yogurt.
When I started cooking, i bought a whole new set of Tarla Dalal s books. Small in size, affordable prize but indispensable for an amateur cook like me. Whenever i visit a book store I can’t resist going to the aisle where they have all those glossy cookbooks stacked. They make me drool literally. And that s the story of how I picked up this book on parathas by Tarla Dalal.
And when i came home I realized i have many more recipes for breakfast and dinner and lunch. Yes, we love parathas. No, i m not from Punjab. My husband neither. But we love dunking our parathas in rich creamy yogurt and lick our fingers later. Paratha love. And when i combine spring onions with our parathas, it s a super hit. Thats what this post is about- green onion paratha.
Hara Pyaz Paratha
Spring onions are called as hara pyaz in Hindi. While onion kulchas, pyaaz kachoris are all very common, this easy Paratha is a great breakfast with spring onion scapes. This Paratha is a regular in my house during winters. It is because, Hara Pyaz is found in abundance during winter.
Recipe Notes
Spring onions release moisture. When this happens, the dough becomes wet and loose. So make the parathas as soon as the dough is kneaded. I will not recommend resting the dough for a while for this Paratha recipe.
Make sure to wash and pat dry the spring onions thoroughly before adding it to the dough. This will also help in balancing the moisture in the kneaded dough.
Variations to Spring Onion Paratha
You can make the same recipe by replacing the spring onion scapes with leeks, green garlic scapes or green onion scapes too.
