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.
