• 1 & 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (makes 5 parathas)
• salt to taste
• 2 tbsp. oil
• oil to shallow fry
• extra flour to dust

Stuffing-

• 1/2 cup powdered dry fruits (roasted almonds, cashews & pistachios)
• 1/2 cup fried & crushed onion
• 3 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 tbsp. red chili flakes or to taste

          In a bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, salt and oil. Add required quantity of water and knead into a dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.

          Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll out each into a small disc just like poori by dusting some flour.

          Take one rolled out poori and spread some powdered dry fruits, followed by fried onion, red chili flakes and coriander leaves.

          Cover with another poori and press all edges. Roll out further into a larger disc just like chapattis by dusting some more flour. Make similar stuffed parathas.

          Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a tawa and shallow fry them on both sides, one at a time, till light golden in colour. Serve them hot with any side dish, raita, butter, green chutney or pickle.
