Veg Paratha

I wanted to post something healthy as a first dish for this New Year.I made vegetable stuffed Paratha today and here it is.As I told you earlier for any stuffed Paratha I make the dough a little spicy.If you want it plain you can make plain Chappati dough too.

FOR THE DOUGH

Wheat flour----------------2 Cups
Sambar powder-------------2 Tsp( you can add chilly powder and dhaniya powder too instead of this)
Salt--------------------------1 Tsp
Hing-------------------------1/4 Tsp
Make a soft dough adding water.

FOR THE STUFFING

Cabbage, Cauliflower,Carrot,Green chillies,Paneer and coriander leaves.
I added 2 carrots a little cabbage and cauliflower 3 green chillies and a small bunch of coriander leaves.
I chopped all the ingredients in a chopper( you can use mixie too)
Add 1 Tsp of salt and 1 Tsp of Garam masala.Mix well and keep.



For this amount of dough I made 12 equal portions.You can make it even smaller ones if you want.Roll all the balls into small rounds,about 5 inches diameter,and spread the stuffing equally.Don't stuff and keep the parathas as it will become soggy.Spread the stuffing on the rolled chappathi and place the other one on top of it and seal the edges with your fingers.Dust it with flour and roll the chappathi into a reasonably thin paratha. Don't make it very thin as it will tear and will be difficult to pick it and put it in the tawa. Roll it one by one.




Grease the tawa with some oil and place the paratha.Turn it and again add oil and cook it evenly on a medium flame.Now the yummy Stuffed Paratha is ready to serve.As this has a lot of veggies we can serve it with Curd and pickle.
