Daal Pronthee (Punjabi pronunciation, also known as Parantha)

with leftover maa kee daal (black whole urad lentils), you can make pronthees!! 
here is leftover daal. put in a bowl. add chopped onion and chopped coriander:


also add one tsp salt (tsp), two tsps garam masala (coriander/cumin), half tsp red mirchi (spice), one tsp of ajwan (carom) seeds: 


now we will add the flour. my mom likes to add a little besan (chick pea flour but you don't have to). add two karchis (like 1/4th cup) of besan, then five karchis (like a cup) of whole wheat dough:


then knead. you can add a little more flour if you need to. don't add any water because the water from the daal will be enough. makes ten to twelve pronthees:


voila:


my plate w whipped butter ; )


smeared all over: 


:P
