Step by step leftover dal paratha recipe with photos of each step.

How about having quick and healthy snack with leftover dal. Dal is a South Asian high protein food eaten in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal alike with both roti and chawal. Wasting food when a part of world sleeps hungry due scarcity of food seems both cruel and ungrateful.

Such recipes like the one below are great way to save time and use resources to make a delicious snack. As dal is ready just add onion, chilies, chaat masala to enhance flavors; add wheat flour to make dough and you are ready to roll out soft and delicious paratha. Kids and grown ups both will love this hot and tasty treat.

Tips for dal paratha recipe:

The taste greatly depends on dal you are using so add more spices if daal is tasteless. Dry out as much water as you can from dal so you don’t have to add a lot of wheat flour to make dough which will over shadow the taste and flavors of daal. You cam always add more wheat flour and oil if dough it still sticky.

Use non stick tawa/griddle or pan and sprinkle flour over flatbread after rolling  so it doesn’t stick on griddle or get break while flipping  to cook. You can also make Left over Haleem Paratha is the same manner. And, I have to say Haleem taste so delicious.
