Parathas are sustaining and wholesome. Parathas served for breakfast with curds and a pickle are the staple food for most North Indians. I actually came across this recipe quite accidentally while preparing a batch of pepper cheese sticks to serve with soup for dinner. I was left with a portion of the same dough, which on the following morning, I rolled out and cooked on a tava (griddle) like a paratha. The parathas surprisingly tasted much better than the soup sticks I had for dinner. So here is the recipe which you must try. These parathas taste best when they are served as soon as they are prepared.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1/3 cup finely chopped onions
1 tsp pepper powder
1/4 cup grated cheese
3 tbsp melted ghee
salt to taste

Other ingredients
oil or ghee for frying

Method

Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a pan and sauté the onions till they are translucent. Cool completely.
Combine the wheat flour, sautéed onions, crushed pepper, cheese, the remaining ghee and salt and add enough water to make a soft dough. Knead well.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Roll out each portion of the dough into a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle. Prick with a fork at regular intervals.
Cook each paratha on a hot tava (griddle) using a little oil, until both the sides are golden brown.
Serve hot.
