Lettuce Onion Paratha

Lettuce Onion Paratha step by step instructions:

I have always seen lettuce in salads, sandwiches, subs. Today I was not in a mood to eat it in any of these forms and hence decided to make parathas out of it. Well, I can say that you need to try these parathas at least once. Lettuce with onions gives a perfect taste. These parathas are very soft.

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Lettuce: 80 gms (chopped)
Onion: 1 (~85 gms very finely chopped)
Whole Wheat Flour: 1 cup (155 gms)
Fennel seeds powder: 1 tsp (3 gms)
Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
Sugar: ½ tsp
Turmeric powder: ½ tsp
Red chili powder: 1 ½ tsp
Chaat masala: 1 tsp
Coriander seeds powder: 1 tsp
Asafoetida: a pinch
Salt as per taste
Water: less than ¼ cup
Dry Whole Wheat flour for rolling parathas
Ghee for making parathas

Method:
1. In a big bowl mix together all the above ingredients to make a stiff dough. Make sure you use water wisely otherwise the dough will be very soft to handle.

2. Let the dough rest for about half an hour.
3. Make 6-7 equal balls out of it.

4. Take one ball of dough. Apply some dry flour and roll it into a thin circle.

5. Heat tawa and apply ghee over it.
6. Put the paratha on it and let the paratha cook from both the sides. Apply ghee and cook for some time.

7. Serve hot with pickles, chutney etc.
8. Yummy “Lettuce Onion Paratha” is ready

Tips:
1. Both lettuce leaves and onions tend to lose water when salt is added to them. So be careful while kneading the flour.
2. Make sure you chop the onions as fine as possible.
