Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 3/4 cup Water add more as needed to form a dough, approximately
For the Vegetable Filling
- 1 medium Carrot finely diced
- 1 medium Potato finely diced
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Beans finely chopped, green
- 1/2 cup Peas fresh or frozen, green
- 1-2 Chili adjust to taste, finely chopped, green
- 1/4 cup Coriander dhania, chopped
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil for cooking the filling
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a stiff, smooth dough forms. Knead well for 5-7 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and knead for another 2 minutes. Cover and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Vegetable Filling
- Dice the potatoes and carrots into small, even pieces. Finely chop the onions, green beans, and green chilies. In a pressure cooker, combine all the chopped vegetables, green peas, salt, and turmeric powder. Add a little water (about 1/4 cup). Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles or until the vegetables are tender.
Mash and Sauté the Vegetables
- Once the pressure is released, carefully open the cooker and mash the vegetables using a potato masher. If there's excess water, drain it before mashing. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened. Add the mashed vegetables, garam masala, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and remove from heat.
Assemble and Cook the Parathas
- Take a small portion of the dough (about the size of a lemon). Roll it into a 3-inch circle. Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center. Bring the edges together to seal the filling inside. Gently roll out the stuffed dough into a 5-inch circle.
Cook on the Tawa
- Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear. Apply a little oil or ghee to both sides while cooking for added flavor and crispness. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve
- Serve the Vegetable Parathas hot with yogurt, chutney, or ketchup.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Vegetable Parathas
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cumin seeds while sautéing the onions.
- If your dough is too dry, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Don't overcrowd the tawa; cook the parathas in batches to ensure even cooking.
- For a crispier paratha, cook it on medium-high heat and use a little more oil or ghee.
