Wheat flour - 2 cups
Turmeric powder -a pinch
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder- 1/4 tsp (optional)
Vegetables - 1 cup finely chopped (I used carrots, beans and cabbage)
Capsicum - 2 tbsp finely chopped
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Water - as required
Oil - 2 tbsp
Method:
- Chop the vegetables as finely as possible using a chopper/ food processor and pressure cook for 2 whistles in medium flame along with salt, turmeric powder and little water till immersing level.Mash the veggies well so that its easy while rolling.Reserve the vegetable stock.
- Add the mashed veggies along with wheat flour, then add red chilli powder, jeera powder, garam masala powder, chopped capsicum, coriander leaves and required salt. Add the vegetable stock and if required add water to form a soft pilable dough.Let it rest for 30mins atleast. Form lemon sized balls.
- Dust flour on the rolling surface and roll into thin/thick parathas.Heat oil in a tawa, and cook the parathas on both the sides.
My Notes:
- You can alternatively saute the veggies and cook and make it as a stuffing.
- For 2 cups of flour see to it that your sauted veggies comes to 1 cup atleast.
- Veggies is totally of your choice, you can even use green peas, paneer also etc
- Be very careful while adding water as the veggies will leave out water.
