Papad Paratha Recipe
Generally used either as an appetiser or mostly used as a meal finishing dish, here the papad is uniquely stuffed into a paratha.
Crushed masala papad is stuffed into a paratha to give it a crunchy bite.
I think this is a very unique and innovative paratha. It is crunchy and tasty.
Try this for yourself.

Instructions
For the Paratha
Take the flour in a bowl
Knead a soft dough, like the way we do it for chapattis or any other stuffed paratha
Leave it to rest for a while approx. 10-15 mins
For the Stuffing
Deep fry the papads
Crush them in a bowl
Add the balance ingredients to this bowl.
Mix well.
Your paratha mix is ready.
Let’s make the Paratha now
Make about 8 equal balls from the dough
Take a ball of dough and roll it on a rolling pan till about 3-4 inches in diameter
Add a couple of spoons of the stuffing in the centre.
Pull the ends of the rolled paratha over the stuffing and seal it properly. Remove any excessive dough if required.
Make this into a ball again
Roll it to about 6 inches in size or to whatever best size you can manage
Heat up a tava
Put the rolled paratha on the tava and cook on medium heat on both sides
Once the paratha is cooked, increase the heat and apply some butter to the paratha on both sides and fry on both sides
Bring it down from the fire and serve
Notes
This paratha goes well with green mint chutney.
