Instructions
Prepare the Doughs
- Make the green dough by combining wheat flour, pea puree, red chili powder, turmeric powder, chaat masala, black pepper powder, oil, and salt. Add water gradually to form a soft dough. Repeat the same process for the red dough, substituting pea puree with tomato puree.
Make the Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped spring onions and sauté until softened. Add chopped tomatoes and sauté for a few minutes. Add mashed potatoes, peas, coriander powder, garam masala, chaat masala, black pepper powder, and salt. Mix well and cook until heated through.
Make the Rotis
- Take small balls of green and red dough, combine them into one ball, and roll into a thin roti. Cook on a hot griddle until lightly browned on both sides. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Assemble the Paratha
- Place one roti on a plate. Spread a generous amount of the vegetable filling evenly over the roti. Sprinkle with grated cheese and chaat masala. Top with another roti. Repeat this process to create a double-decker paratha.
Cook the Paratha
- Heat a griddle or large skillet and add butter. Place the assembled paratha on the griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, covering with a lid to allow the filling to heat through and the paratha to become soft and slightly crispy.
Serve
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or yogurt.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Double Decker Vegetable Paratha:
- For vibrant colors, use fresh, high-quality vegetables for your purees.
- Don't over-roll the rotis; they should be thin but not too delicate.
- Adjust the spice levels according to your preference. You can add more or less chili powder to control the heat.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought pre-made roti for a quicker assembly process.
