Key Questions Answered
To make chilli garlic dal paratha, you need masoor dal, half a medium bottle gourd (lauki), green chillies, water, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, garlic cloves, Kashmiri red chilli powder, fresh coriander, whole wheat flour, oil, and ghee.
Wash the masoor dal thoroughly and pressure cook it with chopped bottle gourd, green chillies, salt, and water for 3-4 whistles until completely soft. Allow the pressure to release naturally, let the mixture cool, and mash it thoroughly with a spatula.
Divide the dough into equal portions, roll them into parathas, and cook them on a heated tawa over medium heat with a little oil or ghee until golden spots appear on both sides. Serve them hot with fresh curd, green chilli pickle, or your favourite chutney.
