Stuffed parathas are always loved by everyone at home. We make aloo paratha very frequently and many times I pack for lunch box too. Very long back I saw Horse gram stuffed paratha on my Instagram feed. I tried that at home and everyone liked it. We South Indians make Rasam. podi and chutney using Horse gram dal.

I added simple available spices in the kitchen to make the filling of the paratha. You can pair this paratha with a pickle or a simple raita too.

Notes

  1. Ensure to drain the water before you grind the cooked dal.
    2. Else the filling will become watery.
    3. By any chance if the filling becomes watery, cook this on a tawa for 5-7 minutes and cool completely. It will be fine.
    4. For the filling of the horse gram paratha you can add chopped mint leaves, kasoori methi, or amchur powder too.
