Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Water or as needed to form a soft dough
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup Jaggery finely grated
- 1/2 cup Peanuts roasted and coarsely ground
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp Ghee clarified butter; can substitute with oil
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Make the Filling
- In a separate bowl, combine grated jaggery, coarsely ground roasted peanuts, and cardamom powder. Mix well to create a consistent filling.
Assemble and Cook the Paratha
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the jaggery-peanut filling in the center.
- Fold the dough over the filling, gently pressing to seal the edges. Carefully flatten the stuffed ball slightly.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or tawa over medium heat. Cook the paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and browning. Apply ghee to both sides while cooking for added flavor and crispness.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the warm Jaggery Peanut Stuffed Paratha immediately. They are delicious on their own or with a dollop of yogurt or a cup of chai.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Parathas
- For a richer flavor, toast the peanuts lightly before grinding. This enhances their natural nuttiness.
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
- Don't overfill the parathas; too much filling can make them difficult to seal and cook evenly.
- Adjust the amount of jaggery according to your sweetness preference. For a less sweet paratha, reduce the jaggery by 1-2 tablespoons.
