Chana Dal Paratha: A Protein-Packed, Hearty North Indian Classic
Chana Dal Paratha is a hearty, protein-packed Indian stuffed paratha made with slow-cooked chana dal sautéed in mustard oil, hing, ginger, spices, and herbs. The filling is aromatic and earthy, while the dough—kneaded with leftover dal water—becomes soft, flavourful, and perfect for roasting on the tawa. Ideal for breakfast, tiffin, or a comforting lunch.
