I am back to blogging marathon, after few months break. The theme I have selected is stuffed breads. So for the next 3 days, you are going to see some stuffed breads here. Today's recipe is Carrot Paratha. Since I wanted kids to eat it, kept it simple with less spices. They all loved it.
What are the ingredients needed?
For the dough
Wheat flour, 2 cups
Water, 1 cup (approx)
Salt, as required
Oil, 2 teaspoon (optional)
For the stuffing
Grated Carrot, 2 cups
Turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon
Ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon
Chilli powder, 1/2 teaspoon
Salt, as needed
Oil, 1 teaspoon
How it is made?
For the dough
- Combine wheat flour and salt and knead adding water little by little to form a smooth and soft dough.
- Add oil and knead for a minute or two.
- Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least half an hour.
For the stuffing
- Heat oil in a pan add the carrots, turmeric powder, cumin powder, chilli powder, salt and saute till the carrot is cooked.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for some time.
For the parathas
- Knead the dough that has been resting again for few seconds. Divide the dough to 10 equal parts.
- Roll the balls into small discs, Keep the stuffing and seal the edges together and roll it again to a smooth ball. Take care that the stuffing is properly covered.
- Repeat the process for all the other balls.
- Flour the work surface, then carefully roll these prepared balls with rolling pins into parathas.
- Heat tawa and cook the parathas on both side, drizzling some oil .
- Serve them with raitha or cilantro chutney or side dish of your choice.
