  • Green chili– For extra spiciness add chopped chili. You can adjust chili as per taste.
  • A handful of green coriander– It always adds a fresh aroma and flavor.

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.
Is it vegan?

Sev paratha is not vegan as we are using ready made bhujia. Can not be sure if everything is taken care to make them vegan

    Wow Bhawana, that’s one crunchy spicy paratha. I didn’t know that Indoris can use sev in so many different ways. An excellent recipe and so filling. Sometimes when I make or buy sev for chaats it gets left over and no one wants to eat it. Now I know that I can stuff it into parathas.

  2. Wow! That is an awesome paratha filled with spicy sev. This doesn’t even need a side dish. Please pass me that plate Bhawana!
