Onion paratha (thepla / dashmi ) with curd, coconut chutney or khathi mithi peanut chutney is a quick breakfast recipe at my home.In Maharashtra this type of Paratha is also called as tikhat Dashmi ( Dashmya) , it is generally served with spicy peanut chutney ( danyachi chutney) .In Gujarat it is called as Thepla. Dashmi is little more spicy as compare to Thepla or Paratha. Both Dashmi and Thepla are made without stuffing . All the ingredients are mixed and dough is made in both of these recipes .

I always made stuffed onion paratha but when my younger kid was born, I had kept a domestic help and it was difficult for her to make stuffed paratha. She use to break stuffed paratha  and the filling was not properly spread in paratha, then I give her the mixed flour with all ingredients of onion parantha ,she rolled normal paratha /Thepla with it. This paratha turned out really well and each part of paratha / thepla/ dashmi has the taste of onion and all the spices. It’s not difficult to make stuffed paratha but lots of practice is needed for it. Some people make stuffed paratha by making two small discs and then keep filling in one disc and then roll the roll  the paratha , in such type of parantha the sides of the paratha becomes hard  .
