You might have heard about MISSI PARATHA OR MISSI ROTI, if not let me introduce you. This is especially true for my South Indian friends.

MISSI means mixed in Punjabi, hence MISSI PARATHA is a paratha made by mixing flours. In this paratha, 2 types of flour are mixed in equal quantities—whole wheat flour and Chickpeas flour or Besan.

We only need a few fresh and dry herbs along with onions, green chilies, coriander, onion shoots, etc.

In my previous blog posts, you have already come across different types of Rotis and parathas.

This MISSI PARATHA is different from all others because it can be prepared very fast, without much effort, with few ingredients that you use daily

One more beauty of this dish is that it doesn’t require any particular side dish.

Hot missi paratha can be enjoyed with just butter, or at the most pickle or chutney if needed.

Missi paratha is the best option for traveling, lunch box, and for heavy Breakfast and dinner.

let us quickly have a look at the ingredients.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING MISSI PARATHA:-

• First of all sieve wheat flour and Besan together with salt into a mixing bowl.

• Now add cut onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, spring onion shoots, and all spices.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil also.

• Now with hand mix all nicely so that the onion releases water and all the spices leave their aroma to the flour.

• Add water a little at once to make a semi-soft dough. you can rather keep the dough stiff as it becomes soft when you leave it to rest.
• keep covered.
• put a little oil on the dough and mix while making balls.

• After giving 10 mts rest to the dough, make 6 equal portions.

• Now roll out each ball after rolling in dry wheat flour.

• Roll the paratha a little thick but even.

• Heat a tawa and when hot reduce the heat and put the rolled paratha on it.

• When done on one side flip and cook the other side.

• Now is the time to add butter. smear on both sides alternatively and cook till both sides get good brown spots.

• Now the MISSI PARATHA is ready to serve.
