Chili paratha

CHILI PARATHA RECIPE

     Today I'm bored of doing repeated dinner ..so I searched for some variation thro' the net.

Finally came up with this recipe ..this one is my hubby's Favourite . He asking me so many times for this recipe .. I've done this recipe based on here.

 ..I've done this recipe  with little bit variation by adding extra masalas as per my hubby's taste ..also I've done this with frozen parathas .

This method reminds me of gobi manchurian recipe . I'll blog it later. Chili paratha came out really good .

                   

                           

Ingredients:

Large onion 1 big

Ginger 2" piece

Garlic 4 pods (big)

Green chili 3

Capsicum 1 medium

Tomato ketchup 3 tsp

Red chili powder  1/4 -1/2 tsp as per your taste 

Garam masala 1 tsp (heaped)

Soya sauce 1 1/2 tbsp

Paratha frozen / fresh / leftover  - 4 big parathas

Method:

1. Wash and cut veggies before starts cooking .get everything ready..

     capsicum and onions should be cut lengthwise of same size.

     Ginger and garlic --peel the skin and grate it .

     Slit green chilies lengthwise

2. I used frozen parathas , so.. heat the griddle and prepare the parathas ..usually for chili paratha recipe ..parathas has to be fried in oil .. But I decided not to fry them ,instead  I prepare parathas at low flame for long time by lightly applying oil on both sides . This step gives me crispy parathas like fried one .let it cool and cut them to 1" square pieces ( I used kitchen scissor ,it's easy for me to cut without breaking parathas because it's crispy)now keep it aside .

3. Heat a pan over medium flame.pour oil then add grated ginger and garlic ,sauté for a while .

Now add onion ,green chilies and a little salt ,sauté until onion becomes golden brown .

4. Add capsicum and sauté for 5-6 minutes ,capsicum should retain its crunchyness .

5. Add tomato ketch-up and mix well ,then add red chili powder and garam masala powder and stir continuously ,(chance of sticking to bottom)

6. After 2-3 minutes add soya sauce and again give a stir ..time tO check for salt ..if needed add more salt.now comes the final step.

7. Add paratha pieces to this masala and gently  stir from bottom ,so that everything is evenly mixed  (low flame ) .wait for another 3 minutes and switch off ..

8. Chili paratha is ready..
