Vegetable Paratha Recipe
Super easy paratha that are healthier, packed with veggies and are so yummy! Perfect enjoyed with dhal or curries.
Ingredients
- 400g steamed or boiled mixed vegetables*
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 250g atta wholemeal wheat flour
- 1-2 tbsp butter/dairy-free butter alternative melted
Instructions
- Steam or boil the vegetables until soft enough to mash. Drain them well and start mashing with a potato masher into a smooth(ish) mixture. Allow to cool completely.
- Once the vegetable mash has cooled, add the spices, salt and atta/wholewheat flour. Bring everything together and start to knead until you have a soft, smooth dough.
- You may need to add more flour if the dough is too sticky or a little bit of water if it's too dry (it will all depend on how much moisture is in the vegetables).
- Divide the dough into 6 balls, then roll out on a floured surface into a 7inch paratha.
- Heat a pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the paratha and cook for 1 minute, then flip and brush the top with a little bit of melted butter.
- Cook for another 1 minute, then flip again and brush with oil so both sides have a light coating of butter.
- Flip a couple more times, pressing down on the paratha while they cook. Once they're browned on both sides, take off the heat and repeat with the remaining paratha.
Notes
* You can use any mixture of vegetables. I usually use carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans and potatoes. You can also use frozen vegetables. Steam or boil them until soft and mashable. Make sure you drain them well before mashing.
