Parathas are quite favoured at home and these quick onion parathas are a great option for either breakfast or dinner. Makes an excellent lunch box item as it tastes good even while cold.
My elder one is quite fond of parathas over plain rotis / chapatis anyday. And she loved this too.
Do make this and let me know how you enjoyed it.

Mixing all the ingredients while kneading the dough is a cool idea. It is easier to just roll it as is. I would prefer this to plain paratha anytime.
Harini R says
Grating onion into the dough sounds such a simple idea which I haven't thought about 🙂 Love the versatility of such parathas.
Pavani says
That sounds like a very flavorful roti. Will try this one out some time.

Whenever I am in hurry I make these kind of quick parathas. Parathas/flatbread came out so well.
Priya Suresh says
Wow, am in love with this quick onion parathas, grating onion to the dough is definitely a brilliant idea.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
This is a great recipe to make instead of stuffing the parathas. Stuffing and rolling is quite time consuming and this would be a great way to make parathas for kids for lunch boxes.

I love parathas where you don't need to fill and roll, I always tend to fail at that! Hehe... These are just so simple for even breakfast...
Srivalli says
I love this roti and always used to make for myself when it was a nonveg dinner for others!..long time since I have made it, thanks for reminding me, your parathas are inviting!

I sometimes make this onion paratha for our breakfast and we love it. Looks yum with pickle.
Suja Ram says
Mostly, I add grated veggies to the flour itself to make parathas, instead of stuffing. Have'nt tried with onions though. Looks like a flavourful Paratha!
