Moong Dal Paratha

: A Protein-Rich Indian Flatbread For Wholesome Meals

When protein-rich meals are on the agenda, traditional parathas are often overlooked. But the Aashirvaad Paratha Challenge proves that comfort food and nutrition can go hand in hand. As part of its four-week celebration of innovative parathas, home cooks from across India shared their protein-forward creations. One of the winning entries was this Moong Dal Paratha by Sonia Sarpal. This recipe has the goodness of yellow moong dal and whole wheat flour to create a paratha that’s hearty, filling, and easy on the stomach. Moong dal adds plant-based protein while keeping the flavours light, making it ideal for mornings when you want something satisfying without feeling weighed down. Made using Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta, the paratha turns out soft, chewy, and perfectly balanced; great for a nourishing breakfast or relaxed brunch.
