Instructions:
Boil the Pigeon Peas:
Wash the pigeon peas thoroughly.
Boil them in enough water with a pinch of salt for 5-7 minutes until they are soft but not mushy. Drain the water and let them cool.
Prepare the Stuffing:
Coarsely mash the boiled pigeon peas with a fork or blend them in a blender for a few seconds.
In a bowl, combine the mashed pigeon peas, onion, green chilies, ginger, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, carom seeds, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt.
Mix well to make a thick, dry mixture.
Prepare the Dough:
In another bowl, combine the wheat flour and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Making the Parathas:
Divide the dough and the stuffing into equal portions. Roll out one portion of the dough into a small, round roti (flatbread). Place a portion of the filling in the center, bring the edges together, and seal.
Gently flatten and roll it out again like a paratha.
Heat a griddle or pan, and cook the paratha on both sides with oil or ghee until golden brown and crispy.
Serving suggestion:
Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney. Tip:
You can add a pinch of amchur (dried mango powder) or lemon juice to the filling for a tangy flavor.
Enjoy your Toor Dana Paratha!
