Indori Sev Paratha (Bhujia Paratha)
Sev Paratha is an Indian flatbread stuffed with sev/bhujia mix. This is very tasty paratha recipe from Indore. Just like Indori Poha recipe, this sev ka paratha makes a delicious breakfast, brunch, or a lunchbox recipe.
Simple nylon sev are seasoned with onion, chili, green coriander, and few spices. Stuffed in whole wheat flour dough balls and cook on a griddle, this sev paratha is a great way to use the leftover sev or bhujiya namkeen. Here is how to make it.

Aloo paratha, gobhi paratha, peas paratha, tofu paratha & mooli paratha are some more delicious stuffed paratha for healthy breakfast.
I love the fact of how filled parathas do not require any side dish. They make a whole meal in itself. Smear with butter and serve with homemade curd is the best way to eat.
Try having with ginger tea, or masala chai, they make a heavenly pair together.

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