Vegetable Paratha

Vegetable Paratha

We are advised to take three to four cups of vegetables everyday.. Half of our plate must be Fruits and Vegetables only.. Its very difficult to eat that much vegetables in the form of curries or Gravies..So try to include more vegetables in Breakfast and Dinner items.. Vegetable Paratha is one such high nutrition food.. Prepare the stuffing.. Roll it in dough..

Give it to  kids along with curd.. They will surely enjoy it.. Try this kids friendly nutritious Paratha!!

Grated Cabbage              - 1/4 cup

Chopped Big Onion         - 1

Ginger Garlic Paste         - 1 tbsp

Salt                                    - As required

Turmeric Powder              - 1/4 tsp

Procedure:

• Heat oil in a pan.. When the oil is hot, add chopped onions.. Once onions become translucent, add ginger garlic paste.
• Add grated carrots and cabbage.. Saute for 3-5 minutes and add in all the powders except garam masala powder.
• Saute it for another 5 minutes.. Switch off the flame and add garam masala powder.Now the stuffing is ready..

• Add salt to wheat flour. Add hot water in small instances and knead well.. Make balls out of the dough.. Roll out chapathi dough for 2 inch diameter with the help of flour..  Place the stuffing inside and throw some flour over the stuffing.This is done to avoid the stuffing from coming out.

• Close the stuffing and remove the excess dough.

• Shape the dough with hands so that dough completely covers the stuffing.

• Roll out the dough with the help of flour..

• Heat Dosa pan.. Place rolled out chapathi on the pan.. When its cooked on one side, turn it to other side.. If you wish add Ghee, Butter or oil.. I didn't use anything..

These parathas stay fresh and soft for a long time...

Enjoy with curd or pickle..

Don't eat with any other gravies, as you can't enjoy the original  taste..

Adjust the spice according to your taste..
