When I posted lachha paratha recipe, I got many requests for pudina paratha recipe too. I wanted to try pudina paratha in a restaurant before trying at home as I know pudina paratha is a very popular restaurant recipe.

Luckily I got the chance to taste pudina paratha in a dhaba, it was so crispy and flaky, of course bathed in butter but so very flavorful and delicious. It was an instant love.

The pudina paratha recipe is fairly simple, it is just like making lachha paratha, just that there is a spicy mint filling. what makes it truly delicious, crispy and flaky is using butter generously for toasting the pudina paratha.

To make pudina paratha recipe, I have used fresh mint leaves, cumin powder, salt and amchur powder for the filling. The mint leaves are briefly dry roasted to bring out the flavor and also to remove excess moisture. You can use pepper powder, chaat masala powder, chili powder also for filling.

You can use a mix of cilantro leaves and mint leaves for filling too. Make sure to use goodquality butter to toast the pudina paratha. You can also use ghee but butter is the best one to fry parathas.

Serve pudina paratha with spicy curd, onion raita or mixed veg raita. But these parathas were so crispy and flaky, I just had them plain piping hot. With all the butter, these parathas are quiet rich too.

Here is how to make pudina paratha recipe, do try this and you will love it.
