👩‍🍳 How to make Pyaaz Paratha

Mix all filling ingredients. Squeeze onions with hands to remove excess moisture — if too wet, parathas will not cook properly.
Stuff into dough, seal, roll carefully (onions are chunky).
Cook on hot tawa, pressing gently for even cooking, applying ghee liberally.

📖 Cultural notes

Pyaaz Paratha is the poor man's protein breakfast across MP's rural interior — onions were historically the most affordable ingredient, yet the ajwain and chillies make it deeply satisfying. ---
