Oil/ ghee as required for frying parthas

Instructions

Finely chop the onions and add chopped green chilies, coriander leaves and salt to it. Mix well and set aside for 5-7 minutes. Onions will release water soon.
Squeeze out all water from the above mixture with the help of a cotton cloth.
Add turmeric, red chilli, amchoor, ajwain, and saunf. Mix it well. Stuffing for onion parathas is ready now.
Make dough out of the wheat flour and medium sized balls, roll it and dust it with some flour on the rolling board.
Roll it about 3 inches size and put 1 tablespoon of stuffing/ filling on it. Bring all the edges together of the dough and press them to the center.
Flatten the roll again and dust it with some more flour. Now roll the paratha lightly from all sides and the center as well making a perfect circle of 4-5 inches diameter.
Heat a non stick tawa, and put the rolled paratha on it. Check when the bottom side of the paratha is half cooked, flip the side and apply some ghee/ oil to it with the help of a spoon.
Flip the paratha again now so that the bottom side will be the one with ghee/ oil.
Apply ghee/ oil to the upper side as well. Flip it for 1 and 2 times so as to make sure paratha is cooked well.
While cooking, you may press the onion parathas edges with the help of a flat spoon.
Delicious onion paratha is ready now. Serve it hot with curd, raita, chutney, pickle, etc.

Good food creates good memories and can win many hearts. Though basic cooking started in my Mumbai days, but being in Germany for few years, I started missing all Indian food especially street food. This has made me trying new and new dishes at home and even during the lockdown period in india, it has proved to be the need of the hour!!
