I have some leftover salan and I want to make a filled paratha out of it…
I have only all purpose flour and not the desi kind of atta, can someone please give a recipe on how to make one (including how to make the atta–enough for 1-2 rotis only…avery small qt i knw)
Re: Paratha
salan of what??
Re: Paratha
1 aloo gobi and the other is mash daaL
Re: Paratha
Yes what kind of salan , last time I checked you cannot make a partha filled with any kind of salan. The moment you start frying your paratha the salan will start running out of it. To make a filled paratha you use bohni , fried , or very thick sabzi or daal. Which kind of flour to use depends on your own sense of taste and choice.

You can use any kind of flour ,paratha always taste great no matter what kind of flour you use.
Re: Paratha
why dont u make it the way u make aloo paratha or qeema paratha? 
i dont know much but i think if u just follow a paratha receipe and use all purpose flour then it will turn out fine

well I was watching this recipe on Youtube and she said u can also use the leftover for paratha filling....so shud I try to bhoon the salan first because it was a lil runny and not as dry as I'd liked.....
I know u can use any flour...but I need to know the quantity of flour/water etc to use.

Yes you need to bhoon and dry up all the water. For how much water to how much ata , making dough for roti or paratha needs some practice, You start with little bit of water in lot of flour and then keep adding water and knead the flour to bring it to the desired consistency. I hope they have an instructional video on YT for kneading ata for roti or paratha.
Re: Paratha
Hi Sara, sorry i am answering a bit late ... I normally bhoono the salan and add a bit of bread crumb or dry zeera dhaniya powder to the bhoonooo'd salan , so that i will absord the oil/liquid ....
And the second most important thing .. after you have bhoono'd the salan ... leave it aside for it to cool down ... and only then use it in the paratha .. otherwise warm salan will ruin the smooth texture of the paratha ...
What i normally also do is .... mix the Liquidy salan in the flour and goondo it all along ... and make a paratha out of it ... its not smooth .. and i only make that when i have to eat it with omelette or pickles... I dont recommend this method unless you try it first and like it ...
Re: Paratha
At our place, we make two small chapati's, put one at the bottom.. cover it with a lil salan ( i've done it with gobi salan ) ,then put the other roti on top of it and roll it with a smooth hand. I avoid to put in extra salan though, because it can break the paratha. It always turns out yummy!
Re: Paratha
^thats what we do and also add in a lil bit more mirch masala in your salan before making paratha out of it because what I noticed was a pheeka paratha if I didnt add any.. probably because atta absorbs lots of namak mirch so dont forget that!
and I love aloo gobhi paratha!!
by the way if the roti(s) break then you can just mix it all up and make one big paratha.. that turns out good too but I found that messier!!
and aloo gobi paratha tastes the best with namkeen lassi!!!
Re: Paratha
Thanks guys! I haven't made it yet, will do so tonight and post the results!
Re: Paratha
Would not it be easier to make plain paratha and eat it with the salan 
Re: Paratha
Thats...true. :(
Re: Paratha
Paratha with filling taste different than plain paratha and the same salan , daal , sabzi etc.

Only few people worry about how food comes out in the end ( pun intended) , most of us care about how it tastes when you put it in your mouth. :@:
Re: Paratha
the ‘end’ result should be same…since its ‘gobhi’ with ‘paratha’…
