Coriander Leaves Paratha


          A healthy and a nutritious Paratha made with fresh coriander leaves makes for a wholesome breakfast. Loaded with a number of nutrients, coriander leaves lends a good aroma to our daily parathas and is equally delicious too. 

          It can be served as a snack any time of the day by cutting them into bite sized pieces along with mayo / hummus. Otherwise, it is best enjoyed with any side dish, raita, pickles, plain yoghurt or just butter. It is also a great lunch box meal. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.








  • 1 cup atta (whole wheat flour)
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garam masala powder
  • 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp. asafoetida (hing)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1/2 tsp. kalonji (nigella seeds)
  • oil to shallow fry






          In a bowl, combine all the ingredients (except oil to shallow fry) and knead into a soft dough with required quantity of water. Keep aside to rest for 30 minutes.

          Divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle like chapattis. Heat a tawa and sallow fry the parathas one at a time by drizzling some oil on both the sides into a light golden colour.
