## About
An easy and simple stuffed flatbread recipe made with wheat flour and a combination of onions and besan spiced masala. **Onion Paratha**, most commonly known as **Pyaz Ka Paratha**, is a common alternative to cooked vegetable paratha like aloo or gobi paratha. Generally, it is prepared by stuffing the besan and onion-based masala inside the wheat dough bread. But it can also be done by mixing the spiced onion directly with the dough to make it Onion Roti.
There are many use cases for this paratha; the most common purpose is to pack it up in lunch or tiffin boxes. Compared to other parathas, which typically need more effort to cook vegetables. However, **Onion Paratha** does not include such complicated steps and procedures. It only takes 5-7 minutes to prepare the stuffing and hence can be prepared in a jiffy. Moreover, the spice stuffing is balanced and requires no additional sides or condiments.

## Notes
* Firstly, adding besan helps absorb the moisture from the stuffing.
* Also, make sure to prepare the stuffing just before making paratha. Else the onion will release moisture and will be difficult to roll.
* Additionally, the paratha must be roasted well so the onion will get cooked well.
* Finally, roasting the paratha with ghee gives it a nice flavor to **Pyaz Paratha Recipe**.
