Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup Rice Flour
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 2 tsp Coriander Powder dhania
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1/2 tbsp Fenugreek Leaves kasuri methi, dried
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Chilies coarsely chopped, green
- 1 cup Moringa Leaves also known as drumstick leaves; washed and finely chopped
Cooking & Serving
- 2 tbsp Ghee clarified butter or vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Rice Flour for dusting
- Water as needed for dough
- Yogurt, Pickle, Or Chutney for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Moringa Leaves
- Wash the moringa leaves thoroughly and chop them finely.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rice flour, salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and dried fenugreek leaves.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients
- Add the chopped moringa leaves, green chilies, and lemon juice to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine.
Make the Dough
- Gradually add water while kneading the mixture into a smooth, soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Shape and Roll
- Divide the dough into 8-9 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, circular paratha (about 6-7 inches in diameter) using a lightly floured surface (rice flour).
Cook the Paratha
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with ghee or oil.
- Place a paratha on the hot pan and cook until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the paratha and cook the other side until lightly browned. Apply ghee or oil to both sides as needed for even cooking and to achieve a crisp texture.
- Continue cooking all parathas in the same manner. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Serve
- Serve the hot Moringa Leaves Paratha with yogurt, pickle, chutney, or any desired side dish.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Moringa Paratha
- For a softer paratha, use a little more whole wheat flour and less rice flour.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking. Cook the parathas in batches to ensure even browning.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to your preferred spice level. If you want a milder flavor, use less.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the dough.
