Step by step leftover dal paratha recipe with photos of each step.How about having a 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 the world sleeps hungry due to scarcity of food seems both cruel and ungrateful.

Such recipes like the one below are a 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 the 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. Too much flour can undermine the taste and flavors of daal. You can always add more wheat flour and oil if the dough is still sticky.

Use nonstick tawa/griddle or pan and sprinkle flour over flatbread after rolling so it doesn't stick on a griddle or get a break while flipping to cook. You can also make Leftover Haleem Paratha in the same manner. And, I have to say Haleem tastes so delicious.

Step by step Leftover Dal paratha recipe

Dry dal to make thick paste and let it cool. Once cool take it in a kneading bowl.

Chop onions


Add lemon juice, chopped onions and chat masala.


Add chillies and wheat flour little by little and oil.


Knead a little to form smooth dough. And divide into medium size balls.


Roll out each ball into flat paratha.


Cook paratha on non stick tawa with oil. My paratha has very little oil, you can add more.

Notes

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.
Add more wheat flour and oil if dough it still sticky.
Use non stick tawa/griddle or pan, or sprinkle atta after rolling flat bread so it doesn't stick.
You can also make Left over Haleem Paratha is the same manner.
