Whole Masoor Paratha

I had some whole masoor that I had soaked and pressure cooked to make some curry.  Turned out that I had cooked more than required and also strangely I had somehow put in less water and had an almost dry but well cooked sabut masoor when I opened the cooker.  While I used half of it for a yummy curry that I forgot to take a picture in the hurry to pack the lunch box, I used the rest - since it had no moisture content whatsoever - to make a stuffed paratha.

Ingredients:
( for the stuffing)
Cooked whole masoor - 1 cup
Onion - 1 medium - finely diced
Oil - 2 tbsp
Chilie powder - to taste
Salt - to taste
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Jeera Powder - 1/2 tsp
Chaat Masala - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Kasuri Methi - 15-20 gms
Garlic - 3 nos - crushed

Make roti dough as you would normally with whole wheat flour, salt and water.

Take a pan.
Heat the oil
Saute the finely diced onion till transparent.  Add garlic
Add the cooked masoor and the powders, salt, kasuri methi
Keep for a few minutes.  Mix well.  Make sure it is a dry mixture.
Take off fire.
Cool and then make a few round balls which will serve as stuffing

Roll out the roti dough into a small round.
Fill in the stuffing.  Pinch the dought together.
Roll into normal rotis - do it carefully without applying too much pressure.

Now make the rotis on a pan - use as much oil / ghee for the frying of the paratha.  I have not used much here.  But the quantity of fat used will have a direct bearing on the taste!

Serve with pickle and raitha.

The paratha is very filling as compared to a veggie stuffed one.
