hari mirch paratha recipe | green chilli paratha | spicy green chilli flatbread | with 15 amazing images.



An exciting treat for your palate, the hari mirchi paratha gives you the delightful flavour of green chillies, at acceptable spice levels.

Here, the whole wheat flour parathas are stuffed with a tongue-tickling mixture of deseeded light green chillies perked up with cumin and nigella seeds, and cooked with oodles of oil to get the authentic Delhi touch.

You need to keep some pointers in mind when making hari mirch paratha. Use only light green chillies and deseed them properly. Otherwise, it will be so spicy that nobody will be able to eat it. Wash your hands thoroughly after chopping the chillies, and in case you have sensitive skin, you can rub a little oil on your hands before chopping the chillies, to avoid a burning sensation.

These hari mirch parathas are super tasty, and since they are moderately spicy, you don’t need any special accompaniment. Just curds will do!

Pro tips for hari mirch paratha. Add 1/2 tbsp oil. Oil can help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands or rolling surface while you're working with it. This allows for a smoother and more efficient dough-handling experience.

  1. In a bowl put 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta). Whole wheat flour has a slightly nutty flavor that some people prefer compared to the more neutral taste of all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food.
  2. Add 1 tbsp besan (bengal gram flour). (optional). Besan flour tends to create a denser and crispier texture compared to wheat flour.
  3. Add 1/2 tbsp oil. Oil can help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands or rolling surface while you're working with it. This allows for a smoother and more efficient dough-handling experience.
  4. Add salt to taste. We added 1/4th tsp salt.
  5. Add enough water to make a soft dough. We added 3 tablespoons water.
  6. Knead into a soft dough. Keep aside.
