Method :

Make the filling

  • Wash and peel the carrot, chop it into 4-5 pieces. I used a large carrot here, if you have small ones use 2. Also wash a small broccoli head and chop it into pieces.
  • Place the chopped carrot and broccoli into the food processor.
  • Pulse till the carrot and broccoli are finely shredded. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • In a pan heat 1 teaspoon of boil. Once hot, add cumin and mustard seeds and let it crackle.
  • Once the seeds crackle, add the chopped ginger to it. Saute for few seconds till ginger turns light golden in color.
  • Add the grated broccoli and carrot to the pan and mix.
  • Add red chili powder, cumin powder, dry mango powder, salt and mix.
  • Add the fresh chopped coriander leaves.The filling for the paratha is now ready.

Make the dough

  • In a pan take the whole wheat flour (atta). Add salt, oil and mix.
  • Add water slowly to the flour mix and knead to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes divide the dough into 4 equal parts.

Make the paratha

  • Take one dough ball and roll it into a circle of around 1/8 inch thickness. Apple little oil all over and then place around 2 tablespoons of filling the center.
  • Seal the edges from all sides to form a dumpling like shape and then press to form a flat disc.
  • Using your rolling pin, roll the stuffed dough again to a circle of around 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Place the rolled paratha onto a hot griddle on medium-high heat.
  • Cook from one side and then flip the paratha.
  • Apply 1/4 teaspoon oil [or butter or ghee] on the cooked side.
  • Flip again and now apply oil on the other side as well.
  • Press paratha from both sides, it’s done when it appears all cooked and you can see light golden brown spots all over.
  • Repeat the same steps with the remaining 3 dough balls.
  • Serve parathas hot with yogurt, pickle or any curry of your choice.
