Onion-Stuffed Flat Bread, also known as Pyaaz ki Kachori, is a popular Indian snack that originated in Rajasthan. It is made from a soft dough stuffed with a spicy onion mixture and deep-fried until golden brown. The bread has a crispy outer layer and a flavorful inside filled with spices. The combination of salty and spicy flavors makes it a fantastic snack that can be eaten at any time. Although it is traditionally deep-fried, this recipe is much healthier since it is pan-fried with minimum oil. It is perfect to satisfy a sudden hunger spurt and great company for evening tea.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Gradually add in water and knead until it forms a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2.	In a separate mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped onions, ground coriander, jalapeno chili, lemon juice or amchoor, and salt to taste. Mix well.
3.	Roll out one portion of the dough into a small circle. Place a tablespoon of the onion mixture in the center and bring the edges together to seal it completely. Roll out the stuffed ball gently into a slightly thick flatbread.
4.	Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the stuffed flatbread on the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Spread a little oil on top and flip. Cook until crispy and browned.
