Instructions
 

  • Prepare the papaya filling by grating the papaya and setting it aside. In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the kalonji (onion seeds) and allow them to splutter for a few seconds. This releases their aromatic flavor.

  • Add the minced garlic and green chilies to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

  • Add the grated papaya to the pan. Stir well to combine with the spices. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the papaya to soften slightly.
  • Add the garam masala, amchur (dried mango powder), salt, grated coconut, and chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly and cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.
  • Remove the papaya filling from the heat and set it aside to cool. While the filling cools, prepare the dough. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and kalonji (onion seeds).
  • Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a soft and pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. This develops the gluten and results in softer parathas.
  • Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the cooled papaya filling in the center of each circle.
  • Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, forming a ball. Gently flatten the filled dough ball and roll it out again into a thin circle.
  • Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place a paratha on the hot tawa and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the paratha is cooked through. Use a little oil or ghee as needed for even cooking.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will ensure even browning and prevent steaming.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
