When I make parathas I cognate to the fact that kids also should get the right amount nutrients they need.So when I started making these I find that by using grated carrots in dough it self not only makes the dough smooth but it also enumerates the nutrition value of the parathas.
Aalu paratha is a traditional breakfast for some parts of India,but for me it can breakfast or lunch or dinner.I can have parathas any time of the day,goes well with pickle or plain yogurt .
Ingredients for the Carrot Aalu Paratha,
For the filling,
Potatoes-1 1/2 ( peeled and boiled)
Amchur-1 teaspoon
Red chilli powder-1 teaspoon
Salt-1/2 teaspoon ( vary according to taste)
Garam masala-1/2 teaspoon
Coriander-4 sprigs(finely chopped)
Mash the potatoes and then add the amchur,red chilli powder,salt , garam masala and then chopped coriander ,mix well and keep aside.
For the dough,
Wheat flour or multi grain flour-11/2 cup
Carrots-2( big )
Carom seeds-1/2 teaspoon
Salt-1/4 teaspoon
Water- enough to knead the flour into dough
- Grate carrots finely and add it to the flour.Add carom seeds and salt to it and knead it into a stiff dough.Make small equal balls out of it and slightly roll them into poori sizes.
- Take 2 teaspoons of the filling mix prepared and keep it in the middle of the rolled small poori sizes of the dough and seal it from all the sides.
- Sprinkle flour on the counter top,place the sealed dough and then sprinkle some more of the flour on top of it.
- Roll this into parathas and bake it on the preheated griddle until done on both the sides.
- Apply ghee or oil while you flip the parathas.
