Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup water (more if needed)
• 2 tablespoons oil (for dough)
• 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
• 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• ½ teaspoon garam masala
• ½ teaspoon red chili powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• ½ cup yogurt (for serving)
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (for the dipping sauce)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for the dipping sauce)
• Salt (for the dipping sauce)

How to Make Mushroom-Stuffed Paratha

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix well. Gradually add water, kneading until a soft dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
2. While the dough rests, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
3. Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the chopped mushrooms, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and the mixture is dry. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Divide the rested dough into equal portions (about 6-8 balls). Roll one ball into a small circle on a floured surface.
6. Place a spoonful of the mushroom filling in the center of the circle and fold the edges over to seal, forming a pouch. Gently flatten it with your hands.
7. Roll the stuffed dough into a larger circle, being careful not to let the filling escape. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
8. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, adding a little oil for extra crispiness if desired.
9. For the dipping sauce, mix yogurt, chopped green chilies, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
10. Serve the Mushroom-Stuffed Parathas warm with the spicy yogurt dipping sauce on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the mushroom filling is well-cooked to prevent it from making the parathas soggy.
• Use a rolling pin with gentle pressure when rolling out the stuffed parathas to avoid breaking the dough.
• For extra flavor, you can add spices like coriander powder or turmeric to the filling.

Easy Variations

• Swap the mushrooms for spinach or paneer for a different filling.
• Experiment with spices to match your taste preferences, such as adding turmeric or coriander.
• Add grated cheese to the filling for a creamy texture.

What to Serve With It

• A side of cucumber raita for a refreshing contrast.
• Sliced avocado for a creamy addition.
• A simple salad of mixed greens for crunch.
• Pickles or chutneys for added flavor.
