Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 cup Multi-Grain Flour
- 1/2 cup Bathua goosefoot, blanched and finely chopped
- 1/8 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 3/4 - 1 cup Water add gradually as needed to form a soft dough
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp Ghee or more as needed
- 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour for dusting
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine multi-grain flour, chopped bathua, asafoetida, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.
Roll and Shape the Parathas
- Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour.
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls.
- Roll each ball into a thin, circular paratha using a rolling pin.
Cook the Parathas
- Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the rolled paratha.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat.
- Place the paratha on the hot tawa and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
- Spread a small amount of ghee on one side of the paratha and flip; cook for another minute until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining parathas.
Serve
- Serve hot Green Bathua Parathas with your favorite chutney or pickle.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Green Bathua Parathas
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality bathua. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding to the dough.
- Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading can result in tough parathas.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more multi-grain flour. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
- Adjust the amount of ghee according to your preference. You can also use a little oil instead of ghee, but ghee will enhance the flavor significantly.
