Moong Dal Paratha

This paratha happened to be an experiment which was forced because I had boiled too much of moong gram. It turned out quite tasty, had packed it for my lunch box hence had it cold. It would have been tastier if I had had it hot.

Ingredients:
For the dough :
Wheat flour- 2 cups
Salt- a pinch
Oil- 1/2 tbsp
Water to make the dough

For the stuffing:
Moong gram- Soaked overnight & boiled- 1 cup
Chilly powder- 1 tsp or finely chopped green chillies- 1
Salt- to taste
Coriander powder- 1 tsp
Jeera powder- 1/2 tsp
Aamchur powder- a pinch
coriander leaf- 1 tbsp

Method:
Mix the wheat flour into a stiff dough.
Grind the moong gram without adding water to it. It should be dry enough to make balls.
Now all the dry powders mentioned above and coriander leaf and mix well.
Roll out two small chapatis.
Take one chapati, add the moong stuffing on it, cover the moong with the other chapati.
Fold the sides/ seal the sides.
Cover the stuffed paratha on dry wheat flour and roll further to make parathas.
Heat it on tava and serve hot with curds & pickle.
