    Onion Paratha is simple ,easy and quick recipe .Whenever there is no or short of vegetables at home ,I prepare this onion paratha.Onion Paratha is a delicious recipe when accompanied with boondi raita and pickle.It tastes so good that ,I'll enjoy eating this till my last bite.

    Its everyday saga for me to think what to cook for tomorrow's breakfast and lunch box ? So ,this recipe has become a saviour for me ,many times. As I prepare onion paratha for breakfast as well as pack the same for Lunch box too.

    Ease way to laze around once in a while with such kind of 2 in 1 breakfast - lunch box options.Other breakfast-lunch box option ,I often follow are: Aloo Paratha , Chinese Stuffed Paratha, Mooli Paratha , Avarekalu Bath ,Tomato Bath & Moong Dal Rice.

    I personally love this Onion paratha because I add Kalonji (onion seeds) and Ajwain (carom Seeds). Unlike ,other Paratha's don't roll it thin ,roll it bit thick ,so that onions doesn't sneak peek here and there.

    Also roll paratha and cook it simultaneously , as onions may start releasing juices when it comes in contact with salt, if delayed.Fry on hot tava / griddle by drizzling ghee/ oil ,flip and cook on both sides,till crisp.

    Serve Onion Paratha with Boondi Raita / Curds and Pickle.

      Stumbled upon your site via Google+ and happy to see the blog and the dishes posted Muktha. Love onion parathas and the caramelized taste of the onions once they are cooked on the griddle. Cheers and stay connected.
