    Lentils are great for proteins. However,you do not need to make a soup or dal each time you want to enjoy it. There are many other dishes you can make like halwa, dhokla,vada and paratha. Dal ka parantha is one such flatbread .It is one of the tastiest breakfasts made from left over dal recipes.Most of you might have heard about aloo paratha, gobi paratha but dal ka paratha is also just as amazing.

    Dal paratha is a unique breakfast. It is a protein-rich stuffed flatbread which is best served with mint chutney. If not vegan, serve it with a dollop of butter & bowl of yogurt. Also, a good way of using left over dal from earlier dinner.You can make it for dinner or brunch or just have it for breakfast with ketchup.Serve it with some tangy nimbu ka meetha achar and it tastes heavenly in a tiffin.

    Serve hot with mint chutney if vegan or with some yogurt raita.

    Substitution

    You can make it from any dal you might have cooked for dinner. Just heat it until water evaporates and stuff it. Else strain it if you are in a hurry. Similarly you can make left over khichdi paratha also instead of above daal roti recipe. 

    Variation

    The stuffing of lentils makes it full of nutrients. This is an alternative to eating fried kachori in the breakfast. The stuffing of both mung dal kachori and paratha are the same. However, this flatbread uses less oil.

    Both the kachori and parantha are traditionally served as breakfast in large parts of north India.Especially on Sunday, this is a lazy brunch menu. You eat it hot and and then relax to have a late lunch.
