Mushroom Paratha Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Mushroom Paratha Recipe, take all the ingredients meant for dough into a large mixing bowl

Step 2: Add a little water at a time to make a soft and smooth dough

Step 3: Cover the dough 30 minutes until we get the filling ready

Step 4: Next we will proceed to make the mushroom stuffing for the paratha recipe

Step 5: Heat oil in a wok or a kadai on medium heat

Step 6: Add the cumin seeds and allow it to crackle

Step 7: Once the cumin seeds crackle, add onion and saute until the onions turns pinkish in colour

Step 8: Add the chopped green chilies, chopped chopped mushrooms and salt to taste

Step 9: Stir fry on high heat until most of the moisture from the mushrooms is evaporated

Step 10: Once the mushrooms have shrunk in size and the moisture has evaporated, add the garam masala and turmeric powder and give it a stir for a few minutes and turn off the heat

Step 11: Allow the mushroom paratha stuffing mixture to cool completely

Step 12: Divide the dough into 5 equal portions

Step 13: We will now proceed to make the stuffed mushroom paratha

Step 14: To begin making the paratha, keep a plate of dry flour for dusting

Step 15: We dust the dough in flour, flatten it with your finger and place it on a flat surface

Step 16: Roll them out thin to approximately 3 inches in diameter circle

Step 17: Take a portion of the mushroom filling and place it in the center

Step 18: Next Gather the sides of the dough and bring them together

Step 19: Remove the little excess dough which popped out when you brought them together

Step 20: Press the filled dough down

Step 21: Dust the filled dough in some flour and roll it gently applying just a pressure

Step 22: Roll it to desired thickness and proceed the similar way with the remaining portions of dough and filling

Step 23: Preheat a Skillet/Tava on medium heat and place the filled Mushroom Paratha

Step 24: Allow it to cook on medium heat for about 30 to 45 seconds and flip over

Step 25: Add this stage add a teaspoon of ghee or oil and spread it around

Step 26: Flip again, so the oiled side can cook on the skillet

Step 27: Spread a little more ghee and keep pressing the parathas while on the skillet to cook the paratha evenly from inside out

Step 28: Do the flipping over process a couple of times until both sides get cooked, browned and crisp evenly

Step 29: Make sure you cook on medium heat as it allows the parathas to get a crisp on the outside and yet soft texture

Step 30: Once the paratha is cooked transfer to a plate

Step 31: Continue to the same process with the remaining Mushroom Parathas the same way

Step 32: Serve the Mushroom Parathas along with a spicy mango pickle for breakfast or a sunday brunch
