Quick, easy to make Spring Onion Paratha with step-wise pictures. Simple video recipe to make paratha with spring onion – a wholesome meal.
I love making Parathas – it is simple, healthy and really delicious too! Parathas are layered or stuffed Indian bread made with whole wheat flour, making it one of the best meals that can be made quickly. I recently harvested a batch of spring onion from my small balcony garden and I turned it into Spring Onion Paratha, something I will be making quite often for sure. The story of how I grew spring onion in my small garden is purely by chance. One day I happened to see tiny shallots sprouting in my kitchen, probably the moisture was little more than needed. I just planted them in the sheer hope that at least one of it blossoms and they all did! I am having very little luck with my gardening and I am pushing it as much as I can 🙂 Anyway I digress.
I have already made a few types of Parathas – Paneer Paratha, Gobhi Paratha, Cabbage Paratha, Laccha Paratha, Ajwain Paratha or Masala Paratha but this Spring Onion Paratha is very simple. All the required spices are mixed in to the dough and that’s it! All one needs to make this a complete meal is a bowl of homemade curd and some pickle. If you love Onion Paratha as much as I do but don’t want to chop onions or looking for ease, then this is the best recipe for you. It is very simple to roll on too and the flavor is just as good as a regular onion paratha.
