Stuffed Carrot Moongsprouts Paratha

Monday, April 14, 2014

Most of our dinner goes for parathas or rotis, my kids just love rotis with anything. Obviously rotis is one of the staple food at our home after rice. I can feed easily everyone at home with stuffed parathas. I can go for anything for stuffing,none will bother about the stuffing,even if ill go for bittergourd stuffing,am sure they will enjoy their parathas, needless to say now how they will enjoy having parathas. By the way, am yet to make that bittergourd stuffed parathas and i dont have any idea how those bittergourd parathas will tastes.

Coming to todays paratha post, i prepared the stuffing with grated carrots and cooked moong sprouts, which i spiced simply with onions,greenchillies,garam masala powder and chaat masala. This paratha doesnt even need any side dish to enjoy,the stuffing itself will replace the side dishes usually we make for rotis.An another nutritious,very healthy parathas to enjoy without any guilt. This stuffed parathas was big hit among everyone at home and we loved it.

Channadal Sweet Paratha

Monday, April 7, 2014

I was searching something sweet also at the same time something healthy for our evening snacks few days back, while going through my fridge i saw a cup of channadal halwa and finally i prepared this excellent sweet parathas. With a simple wheat chappathi dough, i prepared quickly this sweet paratha and this parathas tastes absolutely fabulous to enjoy with a mug of spiced black tea.

These parathas turned out extremely light,filling also at the same time an excellent tea time snack, this sweet paratha may sounds exactly like our famous puran poli, but the dough usually we make puran polis goes for all purpose flour aka maida, i completely skipped maida here and went for whole wheat flour.Since i cooked this parathas in a non stick pan, these parathas are completely oil free, in case if you want to drizzle some oil, you can definitely go for it. Watever,we just loved this delicious channa dal halwa stuffed sweet parathas for our evening snacks and we just loved it.Sending to my own event Cooking with Seeds-Dals.



2cups Wheat flour
Warm water (for kneading)
Salt
1cup Channadal Halwa

Take the wheat flour,salt in a large bowl, add the warm water slowly and knead everything as a soft dough and keep side for an hour.

Make 6-7small balls from the channa dal halwa and keep aside.

Also make 6-7 medium sized balls from the wheat dough.

Flatten the wheat balls as medium sized circles,place the small ball of channadal halwa inside the circle and close the edges of the dough completely.

Dough with some flour and roll it gentlu as medium sized parathas.

Heat a non stick pan in medium flame,once the pan is hot,drop gently the already prepared parathas and cook both sides until they get well cooked on both sides.

Enjoy with a cup of tea.

Palak Tofu Paratha

Friday, February 14, 2014

Palak and tofu,both are my favourite and i love anything with these two. But since few months, my lil one started saying no to tofu and he is completely using to take tofu.During my recent visit to nearby chinese store, i didnt hesitate a second to grab a packet of firm tofu and back home, i really want to add this wonderful soya cheese in our food. Everyone at home love parathas, so obviously ill try to make parathas quite often with anything, if you go through my recipe index , you can definitely see how we love parathas, obviously i have a huge collection of different parathas.

Finally i prepared this green parathas with spinach and tofu puree, i simply cooked some spinach leaves and  finally i grinded both the cooked spinach and extra firm tofu together to make a thick puree. I used this puree for kneading my dough, so that none will notice the addition of tofu. The addition of tofu turned out this paratha simply super soft and these parathas while cooking puffed very much like our rotis.My kids simply loved this attractive green parathas and needless to say my lil one enjoyed very much.Now i know how to feed my small picky eater with tofu.Sending to my own event Healthy Diet-Go green guest hosted by Amurta.


2cups Wheat flour
1/2cup Spinach
1/2cup Extra firm tofu
1tsp Ajwain seeds
Salt
Oil for cooking

Bring boil a cup of water, add the cleaned and chopped spinach, cook for few minutes until they shrinks.

Drain the excess of water and take the cooked spinach,tofu together in a mixer, grind as smooth paste without adding water.

Now add this puree, ajwain seeds,salt to the wheat flour, knead everything as a soft dough.(add water incase if you need else this puree will work wonder to knead the dough)

Keep aside for half an hour, make 7-8medium sized balls from the dough, dust it with enough flour and roll them as round circles.

Heat a tawa, add the rolled parathas to the hot tawa, drizzles oil and cook in medium flame until both sides gets well cooked.

Enjoy this healthy parathas with your favourite side dish.
