How to make Chole Paratha Recipe
Take whole wheat flour in a bowl. Add salt and 1 tsp of oil. Add water and knead a soft dough. Keep aside for 15 minutes until you make chana filling.
Take boiled chana in a bowl [Make sure there is no extra water] and mash it with potato masher or with the back of a spoon.
Add coriander leaves, ajwain, red chilli powder, garam or chole masala, turmeric powder, amchur powder and salt. Mix well.Adjust if required.
Make balls from the dough. I was able to get 6 balls.
Take one ball and roll into a small circular disc. Put about 2 tbsp of the stuffing over it. Fold the edges and seal it.Dust with some dry flour and roll the ball into a big circle.
Heat up a tawa/skillet on medium heat and place the paratha and let it cook.
Once you see bubbles ,flip on to other side drizzle some ghee or oil on top.
Flip again and drizzle oil or ghee on the other side as well till they have nice golden spots on both sides.
Serve Chole/Chickpeas/chana paratha recipe with curd, pickle, raita ,ketchup or any gravy of your choice.
