Onion Paratha, North Indian Recipe

Onion Paratha is a well-known North Indian dish. In paratha there are lots of variations like aloo paratha, gobi paratha, mooli paratha, paneer paratha, etc. It can be served as breakfast, lunch, dinner as well as for tiffin. This dish is quick and easy to make. It's a mouth-watering dish.

I got this recipe from one of my very good friend who was staying here in Mumbai in a PG. He was missing his home so much especially the homemade paratha. So I thought of making it for him. I asked him if he knows the recipe and he gave me the recipe. I tried it at home and trust me it was a very bad experience as while rolling the paratha the onion was leaving out water turning the dough sticky and tough to roll. But any how I made it. My friend was really happy to have a homemade paratha. Though it was not that good he still had it. It was then I tried to make it very often and after 5 to 6 attempt I finally learnt to make a perfect paratha. Thanks Rajeev for the recipe.

I made this dish yesterday for dinner as there was no one at my home except me and my sister-in-law. We were feeling very lazy to prepare a complete meal just for two of us. So we thought of making this dish as it's easy to make.
