besan paratha recipe | masala besan paratha | besan ke parathe | zero oil besan paratha is a satiating Indian meal when paired with a bowl of curd. Learn how to make masala besan paratha.

To make besan paratha, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a dough using approx. ½ cup of warm water. Cover and keep aside for 20 minutes. Keep aside. Knead the dough well and divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Keep aside. Roll a portion of the dough into a 75 mm. (3") diameter cylindrical paratha using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Brush with a little oil and seal up the paratha in a flat ball. Roll it up tightly and again from one end to the other end to form a swiss roll and seal the open end tightly at the bottom in the centre. Again roll the dough into a 150 mm. (6") diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the paratha on it, using little oil, till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides. Repeat steps 2 to 6 to make 5 more parathas. Serve immediately.

Besan has a rich and appetising aroma and is often used for binding or to make sweets. However, we have innovatively used roasted besan along with taste givers like ginger-green chilli paste to make besan ke paratha.

The addition of mint and coriander gives the masala besan paratha a flavourful boost. A bowl of dahi and aam ka achar is a true wholesome desi meal.

Health conscious can reach out for zero oil bean paratha. This simple yet tasty paratha is loaded with fibre and vitamin B complex. You just need to make sure that you serve this fat free paratha immediately on preparation, while it is still fluffy and soft, as it tends to get dry upon cooling. Serve with fatless maa ki dal or rajma saagwala or just plain low fat curds.

Tips for besan paratha. 1. Use warm water to knead the dough. This helps to make parathas soft. 2. Also oil your hands to knead the dough for smoothening after 20 minutes of resting time as besan tends to stick to your hands. 3. Use enough wheat flour for rolling as besan tends to stick while rolling too.
