Onion paratha recipe (प्याज़ का परांठा) is a stuffed paratha recipe (unleavened flat bread recipe) from Indian cuisine. The stuffing consists of onion and some spices.
Chopped onions and garlic (optional) are cooked with salt, red chili powder, garam masala and chat masala till soft. Whole wheat flour dough ball is rolled in a Roti (flat bread). Cooked onion mixture is enveloped in it and baked on tava from both the sides to make onion paratha.
It is served hot and at room temperature. Plain yogurt, raita, pickles, chutney or sauce are often served with it.
Onion paratha is eaten in breakfast, lunch, dinner and as snack food in India. You can also see people carry it in journey when they travel from one city to another. Onion paratha is though eaten across India, but especially popular in Rajasthan and Punjab.

- Stuffing is ready to fill in paratha. Turn it in a bowl and let it cool.
- Meanwhile make dough from the wheat flour.
- Preheat a tava to bake onion paratha.
- Now make 2 inch sized balls from the dough. Dust the ball with wheat flour and roll it in 3 inch size.
- Put 2 tsp onion mixture over it and envelop it by folding the edges of rolled flat bread to seal it properly to again shape a ball.
- Once again dust it with wheat flour and roll it in 5 inch size flat bread with light pressure. Stuffing can pop out if you roll the paratha with excess pressure.
