There are many breakfast treats that claim to turn your daily routine into a burst of crispy and savoury enjoyment. Introducing the delicious Indori Sev Paratha, a recipe that combines the enticing crunch of Indori Sev with the classic Indian paratha. This unique paratha is made with the popular sev namkeen, which adds a delicious crunch and tanginess to the dish. Indori sev paratha is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it's sure to become a new favourite in your household and revolutionise the way you eat breakfast.
We might have had parathas made of aloo, onions, cauliflower, paneer, and many other vegetables and meats. But Indori Sev Paratha incorporates the cherished snack sev, also known as bhujia, as a distinctive element. Sev is a type of Indian snack made from gram flour (besan) that is shaped into thin, crispy strands and deep-fried in oil.
It is flavoured with a variety of spices, such as chilli powder, cumin powder, and chaat masala. While it is often used as a topping for savoury dishes such as chaat and puri to add a delicious crunch, sev can also be eaten on its own as a snack. It is a popular snack in India and is often served with chutneys or sauces, or mixed and served with chopped onions and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Indori sev paratha is a popular dish from the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh that is made with a simple dough of wheat flour and water and is stuffed with a filling of onions, coriander, green chillies, spices, and sev. The inclusion of sev or Ratlami sev introduces a delightful crunch to the paratha, and when it is served with chutneys, pickles, and yoghurt, its zesty and piquant flavours offer an enticing experience for the palate, which makes it a great option for parties and potlucks too.
Here's How You Can Make It At Home:
Indori Sev Paratha

Method:
• Begin by placing wheat flour into a mixing bowl and adding a teaspoon of oil along with a pinch of salt; blend thoroughly.
