1 green chilli, very finely chopped

Method
Combine the flour and salt, knead into soft and pliable dough with sufficient water. Knead the dough till it is smooth and elastic. Cover and keep aside in an airtight container for one hour. In a large mixing bowl add chopped onion, green chillies, red chilli powder, coriander powder, ajwain and salt, Mix them all together nicely and set it aside.

Then divide dough into 4 - 5 lemon sized balls ( bigger than the dough required for normal chapati ) and flatten it. Place 1 tablespoon onion filling in each dough, cover them to a ball and roll out an a flat surface like a paratha. Sprinkle dry flour when making parathas.

Heat a flat frying pan or griddle. Reduce heat to medium and cook parathas till golden brown, on both the sides. Apply oil on both sides. Serve hot with pickle / curd / butter.

Happy Holi 2012 !!!!

Holi - the festival of colors - is undoubtedly the most fun-filled and boisterous of Hindu festival. It's an occasion that brings in unadulterated joy and mirth, fun and play, music and dance, and, of course, lots of bright colors!

The main day, Holi, also known as Dhuli Vandana in Sanskrit, also Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing coloured powder and coloured water at each other. Bonfires are lit the day before, also known as Holika Dahan (burning of Holika) or Chhoti Holi (little Holi). The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. Holika Dahan is referred to as Kama Dahanam in South India. (Source Wikipedia)
