Kodaa Onion Parantha

Koda / Mandua / Ragi / nachani or Finger millet flour , as we know, is highly nutritious and 10 times richer in calcium than rice or wheat. To enhance its flavour a twist can be given to it by adding few more ingredients.  

Ingredients :

Koda - 1/2 cup

Wheat Flour - 1/2 cup

Onion (chopped) - 1

Green chillies (chopped) - 1 

Coriander leaves ( chopped)  - a bunch

Kalonji (Onion Seeds) - 1 tea spoon

Ajwain ( Carom seeds) - 1 tea spoon

Salt - as per taste

Red chilli pd (optional) - 1 tsp

Method : 

Mix flours well and let it sit for a while so that the chopped onion leaves its juice. Now add water slowly and knead a soft dough. Quantity of wheat flour can be adjusted if you feel there isn't enough binding in the dough.

Roll out chapati and cook with ghee. Serve with Raita or Chutney !

P.S.  If kids (or grown ups in some cases) refuse to eat this because of it's texture and colour, perhaps a little cheat can help here ! Small ball of above dough can be stuffed inside wheat flour dough to give it a regular parantha looks ! 

Go, give it a try and sneak in some nutrition inside regular food ! :-)
