• Salt as per taste

Tips & FAQ’s

1. If using plain nylon sev then adjust salt and chili. I used bhujiya sev as well so less quantity of spices needed.
2. The onion should be chopped finely, otherwise filling is a bit troublesome while rolling.
3. Use the filling as soon as you make. Otherwise, it becomes soggy due to having onions.
4. Be careful while rolling out parathas, always put light pressure, and roll in a circular motion around the center.
