Japanese/Chinese spring onion pancakes (paratha)
About:
These pancakes are similar to kerala parathas but stuffed with spring onions. Scallion pancakes are one of a delicious dish of china, and the secret of making this pancakes flaky is using boiling water for dough, plain flour and coating the surface with sesame oil. But I made a variation by using wheat flour,olive oil but it tasted delicious. Using white/plain flour makes changes in texture though.
I could have made these with white flour but I really wanted keep the focus on healthy option, as you all know whole wheat flour is much healthier than processed white flour.
