Pudina Dhania Paratha

Herbs like mint, coriander, basil are very sensitive and clever. Sensitive because they cannot last very long and clever because they are very elusive, not available when required. In my case the herb is mint, I buy it sometimes thinking I would make chutney or pulao or chaats. Then I forget about it and it is somewhere stuck in the bottom of the vegetable drawer. My solution to using pudina/mint is making these flaky pudina dhania paratha.
This recipe can be quickly made with leftover chapathi/roti dough. Quickly chop up some fragrant mint leaves and here I have also added dhania/fresh coriander. Fancy looking pudina dhania paratha will be ready in a few minutes. All you need is a little patience to get the chapathis rolled out first, stuff them and then make the lacchha. They should then be rolled out again but trust me after the first one they are easy to make.


These pudina dhania paratha are so flaky and delicious! The best part is unlike other stuffed parathas these store well. They can be packed for kids lunch box and also for travel. Just some pickle and pudina raitha and lunch/dinner is served.
Try more parathas from FOI, aloo paratha, gobhi paratha, paneer paratha etc. Try more lunch box and travel recipes which can come to the rescue many times!
