For the Dough
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 50 gm Butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Sugar powdered
- 1/2 cup Milk as needed to form a soft dough
- 1.5 tsp Salt
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup Carrot grated
- 1 cup Cabbage finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Bell Peppers bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Potato boiled and mashed
- 2 tsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tsp Mango Powder amchur, dried
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
For Decoration (Optional)
- Peppercorns for eyes, black
- Bell Peppers small piece for mouth, red
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, softened butter, baking powder, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add water or milk, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes, then let it rest for 15 minutes.
Make the Filling
- Heat olive oil in a pan. Add grated carrot, chopped cabbage, capsicum, and mashed potato. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in ginger paste, red chili powder, cinnamon, garam masala, mango powder, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
Assemble the Parathas
- Roll out small portions of the dough into circles. Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle, then gently pinch the edges to seal. Shape the paratha into a fish, using a fork to create the tail and pressing slightly to flatten.
Decorate and Bake
- Use black peppercorns for eyes and a small piece of red bell pepper for the mouth. Brush both sides of the fish-shaped paratha with melted butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
