Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup Banana mashed, raw
- 1 Tbsp Garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp Cumin Seeds roasted
- 1 Tbsp Chilies finely chopped, green
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
Dough
- 1 cup Wheat Dough or gluten-free roti dough, whole
For Cooking
- Sesame Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- Boil the raw banana until tender. This will make it easier to mash.
- Once the banana is cooked, mash it thoroughly until smooth.
- Heat the sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden. This releases the garlic's flavor and aroma.
- Add the mashed banana to the pan and stir well to combine with the garlic.
- Add the chopped green chilies, roasted cumin seeds, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
- Continue to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through.
- Remove the banana mixture from the heat and set aside to cool completely. This prevents the dough from becoming sticky.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the whole wheat dough into a thin circle.
- Place a spoonful of the cooled banana filling in the center of the dough circle.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling completely, forming a ball.
- Flatten the ball gently and roll it out again into a thin paratha.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Cook the paratha on the hot tawa, applying sesame oil to both sides, until golden brown and cooked through. This ensures a crispy and flavorful paratha.
- Serve the Raw Banana Paratha hot with your favorite chutney, yogurt, or pickle.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. Work in batches to ensure each piece gets a nice sear.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder and cumin to your liking. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
