Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tbsp Oil vegetable or canola
- 3/4 - 1 cup Water to knead a soft dough
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Stuffing Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Chickpea Flour bengal gram, roasted and coarsely ground
- 1/2 cup Coconut freshly grated
- 1 tsp Ginger finely chopped
- 1 tsp Chili Pepper finely chopped (adjust to taste), green
- 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, salt, and oil in a large bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
Make the Filling
- In a separate bowl, combine roasted and coarsely ground chickpeas, grated coconut, chopped green chili, chopped ginger, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well.
Assemble the Parathas
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Bring the edges together, pinching to seal, then gently shape into a ball.
Roll and Cook
- Lightly dust the sealed dough ball with flour. Roll it again into a flat circle (about 6 inches in diameter). Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, brushing with oil or ghee as needed.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the warm parathas immediately. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Travel Parathas
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or turmeric to the filling.
- If you prefer a less spicy paratha, reduce the amount of green chili or omit it altogether.
- To make the parathas ahead of time, cook them and then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat before serving.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure your oil and ghee (if used) are vegetarian-friendly.
