Steps
- 1
Rinse, peel and chop the veggies.
- 2
Then steam or boil the veggies in a pressure cooker or steamer till they are thoroughly cooked.
- 3
If you are mixing the raw vegetables with water while cooking, then do not discard the water.
- 4
Some of this water can be added to the dough while kneading. Also you can add this water to make soups or dals.
- 5
Drain the cooked veggies really well. You do not want any extra water or moisture seeping into the dough.
- 6
When the veggies cool down, then mash with a potato masher. Mash very well.
- 7
Add finely chopped spinach. If you do not have spinach, then you can add other green like amaranth leaves or fenugreek leaves (methi).
- 8
Add chopped coriander leaves, green chilies and ginger.
- 9
Add cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, asafoetida and salt as required.
- 10
Mix the spices and salt very well with the mashed veggie mixture.
- 11
Add whole wheat flour (atta). Make a well and add oil or ghee.
- 12
Bring everything together and start to knead.
- 13
No need to add water while kneading. Add water only if its a must. Otherwise the dough becomes sticky.
- 14
In case if the dough becomes sticky then add some more whole wheat flour.
- 15
Knead to a smooth and soft dough.
- 16
Pinch medium sized ball from the dough. Then on a rolling board, flatten the dough ball and place it. Dust it with some flour all over it.
- 17
Gently roll to a size of a chapati or roti. Add more flour if required while rolling.
- 18
Place the rolled vegetable paratha on a hot tava. Keep the flame to medium to medium high heat.
- 19
When the base is one-fourth cooked, flip with the help of a spatula or tongs. Spread some oil or ghee as required on this side.
- 20
Flip again when the second side is half cooked. Apply oil or ghee on this side now.
- 21
Flip again a couple of times to get the parathas browned and cooked well.
- 22
Take care that the edges of the paratha are cooked well. You can also press the paratha edges with a spatula or spoon, so that they are fried well. Since some times, the paratha edges are not cooked well.
- 23
Make all mix vegetable parathas this way. While cooking the second paratha you can wipe the tawa with a paper towel if it has burnt or browned wheat flour particles.
- 24
Serve mix veg paratha with curd or pickle or topped with butter.
