Rajasthani Moong Dal Paratha

This wholesome dish starts with a dough made from wheat flour, carom seeds, and a pinch of salt, creating a soft yet sturdy base. The star of the show, however, is the filling — soaked moong dal sautéed with fragrant spices like cumin, garam masala, and turmeric. With every bite, you experience the warmth of aromatic ginger, garlic, and green chilies, balanced by the freshness of coriander.

What makes Moong Dal Paratha so special is its versatility. The parathas, golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, can be enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments. Whether paired with creamy curd, tangy pickle, or a generous dollop of butter, they transform into a complete meal that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These parathas are not only packed with protein from the moong dal but are also a hearty comfort food that brings the rustic flavors of Rajasthan to your plate.
