Multilayer Mushroom Paratha Recipe

Parathas are the Indian version of the flatbread. They are thicker than chapattis, and especially popular in North India. It is very common to add a stuffing to these parathas, as it ensures a satisfying breakfast. In this recipe, I have used mushroom as the filling. The juicy mushrooms and the crispy parathas form an excellent combo and taste absolutely mind-blowing.

For the paratha dough, I have used all-purpose flour (maida).Wheat flour (atta) can also be combined with maida. Soft dough is obtained by adding some water; it should be easy to work with. This dough is rolled into thin, round chapattis and cooked on low flame to give golden-brown colour. For the filling, sautéed onions (pyaaz) and garlic (lahsan) have also been used along with mushroom to make the paratha crunchier and more flavourful. Chopped capsicum (Shimla mirch) has been added along with some spices. These spices can be added according to taste. This mixture is cooked in soya sauce, which has a pleasant savoury taste. The chapatti is dipped in a beaten egg (anda) mixture or maida batter and cooked for some time. This is topped by a handful of stuffing, which in turn is covered with another chapatti dipped in the beaten egg mixture. This process is repeated and covered with chapatti as the top-most layer. It is cooked on low flame, and cooking takes more time due to the many layers.

Multilayer Mushroom Parathas can be cut into small pieces and be served with chutney or tomato ketchup. They taste out of this world when topped with some butter.
