About the Recipe
Tikadia, also popular as Rajasthani Masala Roti or Moti Roti or Pyaaz Tamatar Ki Roti or Paratha!!
Tikadia is made with or without onion tomato and cilantro/fresh coriander stuffing. When made without onion tomato filling it is layered with red chilli powder and has a prominent cumin flavour. It is also known as Namak Mirch ki Roti.
Flatbreads in India, are an important part of Indian meal. Each and every state or region has its own special bread. Like Missi Roti or Besani Roti from U.P, Makkai Ki Roti from Punjab, Bedmi Poori from Uttar Pradesh, Thepla from Gujarat. There are shallow fried, deep or non-fried breads. For lot of people meals are incomplete without rotis and parathas.
Rajasthani Cuisine
Rajasthan is a very colorful state. Simple and loving people with rich heritage and culture. Internationally it is one of the most visited tourist destination. I love Rajasthani Cuisine as I have spent my college years there in hostel and relished the delicacies that my college friends from the city, used to treat us. Be it Dal Baati Churma, Bajre ki Khichdi, Gatte Ki Subzi or Jodhpuri Kabuli Pulao, Missi Roti each and every dish is so rich in flavours.
Do check out some of the other Rajasthani dishes from the cuisine on my blog. Rajasthani Kachori, Gatte Ka Pulao, Jaisalmeri or Chatpate Kale Chane and many more .

I have always made onion parantha but never made onion-tomato paratha. I definitely have to try it :-). I love the name -- tikadia 🙂 There is also Tikkad - a similar flatbread made mostly in Jodhpur.. the difference is that it is made with besan and not wheat flour and the onion and tomato are kneaded into the dough itself.
Batter Up With Sujata
I often make simple paratha with salt chilli filling. But never made with onion tomato filling. And didn't know the name tidaka. Loved the name. Paratha sounds superbly delicious. Lovely share Swaty.

My daughter was so excited that she could prove me wrong, I always thought no one stuffs rotis with tamatar. I showed her your post and she giggled so much and now I have to make it for her. looks easy too. thankyou
Vasusvegkitchen
Tikadia looks very delicious, instead of tasting regular roti's we can try it. Loved both the version of this Rajasthani roti, I'm going to try the stuffed version soon Swathy?
Swati
Thanks Aruna!! Indeed it is a nice change from the usual chapatis and paranthas.

Lovely parathas with onion and tomato stuffing. I liked your plain version with chilli powder with it.
Swati
Thnaks Narmadha!! Try tomato version it's different but you will like it too!!
PepperOnPizza
Both the versions of tikadia sound very tasty. I should try these and I think I will go for the plain ones first. Imagining the paratha with chili powder in it! With a cup of curd and some sliced onions by the side.
Swati
Thnaks Sujataji.. do try the tomato version too, you will love it with plain curd and some chutney!!

I often make the one with red chilli and salt, One of my go to breakfast or lunch at times when I do not have anything. I have never tried the one's with tomato filling. Would it not be difficult to roll? I would love to give this a try though. Looks tempting
Swati
Yes Renu it is a bit tricky to roll..I take out the pulp if tomato is too watery..do give try it a try, a bit different from our usual stuffed parathas.

I've made tikadia twice so far at home and love these parathas. So flavorful and delicious especially when paired with yogurt and pickles.Next time will try out your suggestion of adding a bit of besan flour to the dough. Welcome to the group Swaty.

Swati
Thanks Priya.. yes perfect with a cup of chai!!

Tikadia looks flavoursome, the non -stuffed version is handy while the stuffed is tasty with all the filling. Glad to have you here.
Swati
Thanks Jayashree!! Me too happy to join you all!!
poonampagar
Both the plain and the stuffed versions of tikadia sound delicious and flavorful Swaty! I love the way you have rolled the plain ones. I will try out stuffing my parathas with onion and tomatoes next time for a variation. Thanks for the share.
ARCHANA POTDAR
uci ma! Here I have problems rolling a straight roti and you are dishing out such complex, yet yummy rotis. I love the filling and the way it is rolled. Will try and convince bai to make at leas 2-3. They look so lovely I am sure they tasted yum too.
sizzlingtastebuds
the plain mirchi wala is what mom used t make for us, we used to call it spicy chapati. The tomato-onion filling is quite intriguing. DOesnt it get soggy Swati or is it eaten immediately after being made ? My kids would love both versions..
shobhakeshwani
Simple and tasty recipe.. will make it for sure. Nice to have a variation sometimes.
The Girl Next Door
Wow, the tikadia look so good! I can imagine just how flavourful these would taste, with the tomatoes and onion going in. 🙂
Rafeeda - The Big Sweet Tooth
Doesn't this feel like an easier version of paratha, with a lot of crunch in it! And what more, it needs nothing much to go with it, just raita and achaar... yum!
Sandhya
Looks scrumptious Swati!
