• Then add onion, ginger garlic paste and fry till it is slightly browned. Then add the smashed up rajma. Add red chilli, garam masala, turmeric powders and required salt.Add the reserved boiled rajma water.
• Bring it to a pasty consistency for all the masalas to get blended well, allow for a boil then cook till it forms a whole mass. Add coriander leaves and switch it off.
• The stuffing should be semi thick and not dry, set aside. Flour the surface and roll the chappathi dough slightly thicker. Then add rajma stuffing at the center and gather the dough from all sides.
• Seal it finely. Now again flatten it slightly with your palms and then start rolling gently. Roll it without the filling oozing out. Dust flour so that it doesnt stick. Heat a dosa tawa , transfer the rajma parathas, drizzle little oil and cook on both sides until born spots appear.
