Cooking Tips for the Perfect Dal Paratha

 

While this recipe uses the split green gram, you may always use ingredients such as chana dal and follow the same recipe to create a savoury chana dal paratha. You may also add a touch of chopped green chillis as well as amchur (dried mango powder) to make a homemade chatpata paratha. 

Roll the parathas with care, ensuring that you roll just enough to prevent the filling from spilling out of the dough.
