Ingredients
- 150 g Wheat Flour
- 2 medium Potatoes, boiled and peeled
- 1 carrot, shredded and boiled
- ½ cup cabbage, shredded and boiled
- 4 tbsp finely chopped Coriander Leaves
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 Green Chilli, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp dry mango powder
- 1 tsp grated Ginger
- 2 tsp Oil
- Salt as per taste
Method
Step 1
Knead the dough by mixing wheat flour, 1 teaspoon oil and salt in a small bowl. Add water in small batches as and when required and keep kneading to make the dough soft and smooth.
Step 2
After the dough is ready, grease its surface with 1/2 teaspoon oil, and keep it covered with a clean muslin cloth, and set aside for 15-20 minutes to settle at room temperature.
Step 3
Next, prepare the stuffing by mixing mashed potatoes, other boiled vegetables, chopped green chillies, red chilli powder, grated ginger, garam masala, dry lemon powder, sugar, lemon juice and salt in small/medium size bowl. Mix all ingredients properly.
Step 4
Divide this stuffing into 6 equal parts and roll them into the shape of a ball. Divide prepared dough into 6 equal parts, and roll them a round shape. Press a little with the palm to flatten it like a pattie.
Step 5
Take one dough pattie and coat it with a little dry wheat flour on both sides. Put it on rolling board and roll it out into a circle of approx. 4-5 inch diameter using a rolling pin. Put one portion of stuffing in the center of it.
Step 6
Wrap this stuffed ball by lifting all sides of rolled circle towards top, seal the edges and again give it a round ball shape with your fingers.
Step 7
Gently press this stuffed ball on rolling board and dust some dry flour over it.
Step 8
Keep rolling it lightly until it flattens into a circle of 6-7 inch diameter (like roti or chapati). Ensure that you do not make it very thin.
Step 9
Place it on a hot tava/griddle and cook over medium flame. When tiny bubbles starts to rise on the surface, flip it and reduce the heat.
Step 10
Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon oil around its edge with the help of spatula and cook for approx a min.
Step 11
Flip it again and spread 1/2 teaspoon oil around its edge again. Press it with spatula and cook for 30-40 seconds over medium flame. Keep flipping and pressing the paratha, until golden brown spots appear on both sides of the paratha.
Step 12
Transfer it to a plate and spread a teaspoon of butter on it. Serve it hot with tomato raita and pickle.
