‘Punjabi Masala Parantha’ is a variation to the regular plain paranthas. These paranthas are slight crisp, mildly spiced because a rich combination of spices are added to the flour while kneading the dough and this is what makes them taste so delectable. Roast these classic Punjabi style paranthas on tawa/pan with desi ghee or oil as per choice and serve with yogurt and pickle in breakfast. You can also serve these paranthas with any dal or curry of choice for a change in your regular lunch or dinner.

So, whenever you feel the need to make slight change in your staple diet on account of flavors, try substituting these masala paranthas to the same phulka or plain paranthas being served daily and see the difference. The best part, you don’t need to make any preparations in advance, just change the way you knead the dough….and that’s it!



For a nourishing breakfast, relish Punjabi masala paranthas with garlic pickle, a bowl of fresh curd and some seasonal fruits.

To enjoy a scrumptious meal serve Punjabi masala parantha with dal makhni, achaari dum aloo or jackfruit masala with traditional mango pickle or ginger n black pepper pickle during winters.  To enjoy an authentic Punjabi meal, do not miss to serve chaas.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Whole wheat flour – 2 cups + extra for dusting
  • Ginger (Grated) – 2 teaspoon
  • Green chilly (Chopped) – 1 teaspoon or to taste
  • Fresh coriander (Chopped) – 2-3 teaspoon
  • Carom seeds – 1 teaspoon
  • Nigella seeds (Kalonji) – ½ teaspoon
  • Poppy seeds – 1 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Red chilly powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt – To taste
  • Oil/ghee – As required for cooking
  • Water – As required for making dough

How to make Punjabi Masala Parantha

  • To start with the recipe, first we need to combine all the ingredients (Except oil & water) in a big bowl and knead to a soft and firm dough with water. Cover with a muslin cloth or cling wrap and keep for rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • After rest, knead the dough once again and divide into equal size portions. Remember, these masala paranthas are slightly thicker than the regular plain ones. So make balls proportionately.
  • Take a ball, flatten it slightly and dust with flour. Roll it out into a 3 inch circle using a rolling pin, apply some oil/ghee and fold. Now, this would look like a semi-circle.
  • Agin apply little ghee/oil and fold to a quarter. Dust into flour and roll out into a slightly thick circle with about 5 inches diameter.
  • Heat a pan or tawa and cook each parantha while applying oil/ghee till you notice brown spots appear on both the sides.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and similarly make paranthas with the rest of the dough. Serve hot.

Punjabi style masala paranthas are now ready. Serve as above.

Wasn’t that simple?
