Chilli Paratha: Baked and Broiled

Method for making Parathas

• Mix 1 cup of all purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, required amount of water to form a thick batter. Leave it for 10- 15 minutes.
• Heat a flat pan, pour a ladle full of batter on the pan and spread it evenly like a circle. Spray or apply oil at the edges of the batter. Heat for about a minute and flip to the other side and cook for another minute. Keep aside and allow them to cool.
• Cut them into square pieces, I used scissors to cut them into small pieces. Take an oven safe flat pan and put the aluminum foil. Arrange the pieces evenly.
• Bake at 300 F for 10-12 minutes and broil at high for 3-4 minutes. While broiling keep an eye on the pieces, once it turns little crisper take it out and keep aside.
  

Method for making Chilli Parathas

• Heat non-stick pan with oil, add 1 onion cut into small pieces, few curry leaves, 1 tsp of ginger, 1 tsp of garlic, 2 green chilies finely chopped, ½ tsp chili powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, ¼ tsp garam masala and sauté them for a minute.
• Now add 1 green bell pepper finely chopped or chopped length wise. Sauté them for another one minutes until it turns soft.
• Add 1 big tomato ground into a paste with ½ tsp soya sauce into the mixture and cook for another one minute.
• Add the baked and broiled pieces into the mixture and saute them until all the spice covered with pieces.
• Serve them hot with raita. I made raita a little bland since the chili parathas were spicy. Just added onion, cilantro leaves, yogurt, salt, and mixed them together.
