Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ½ cup Potato mashed, sweet
Filling
- ½ cup Coconut grated
- ½ cup Cottage Cheese mashed
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1-2 Chilies finely chopped, green
- ¼ cup Coriander Leaves finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and mashed sweet potato. Knead until a smooth, pliable dough forms. This will create the soft and slightly sweet base for your paratha.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the filling. Combine the grated coconut, mashed chenna, garam masala, salt, chopped green chilies, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the coconut-chenna filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling completely, pinching and sealing tightly to prevent leakage during cooking.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Gently roll out each filled dough ball into a thin paratha. Cook each paratha on the hot tawa, flipping occasionally, until golden brown spots appear on both sides and the filling is heated through. Using a little oil or ghee helps create a crispy exterior.
- Serve the Sweet Potato and Coconut Chenna Parathas hot. These flavorful parathas are delicious on their own or enjoyed with a side of yogurt or chutney.
