For Day 3 of BM #33, I had a tough time picking out a recipe from my fellow marathoners who did the A-Z series last month.
In the end, I chose a simple, healthy and tasty paratha from Themagicsaucepan.
I thought adding Oat Bran would also make it interesting.That shall have to wait awhile, though!
Ingredients -
Whole Wheat Flour 1 cup
Rolled oats, powdered 1/4 cup
Salt as needed (I didn't add)
Water as needed to knead a soft dough
For the Filling -
Spring Onion whites, finely chopped 1/2 cup
Spring Onion Greens, finely chopped 1/2 cup
Green Chillies, finely chopped 1 tsp
Salt as needed
Seasoning (Oil 1 tsp, Cumin seeds a pinch)
Method Of Preparation -
To Prepare the Dough -
In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour, oat flour and add water gradually to knead into a soft dough and set aside for 30 min.
In a pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds. After they splutter, add the spring onion whites and saute until they are soft.
Add the spring onion greens and green chillies.
Sprinkle salt as needed.
Remove from fire and set aside to cool.
To Make Parathas -
Pinch 5-6 equal portions of the dough.
Take each portion of the dough and flatten it against the palm of your hands. Spoon the filling (about 1-2 teaspoons) and close the edges.
Now carefully roll out discs so that the filling doesn't leak out of the dough.
Place on a hot griddle/tawa. Cook on both sides spraying as much oil as needed.
Continue for the rest of the dough.
Serve hot with the choice of your curry. I served with Rasedaar Aloo (Recipe coming soon..).

Healthy and fulfilling parathas. Must have tasted delicious.
Deepa
delicious paratha.
How healthy and fibre rich parathas na, love the addition of spring onion here.
Btw regarding Custard powder halwa, nope Harini,the sugar quantity is enough coz custard powder will almost double the volume once they gets well cooked, also sugar helps to get the prefect consistency of the halwa, less quantity of sugar makes shapeless halwa too.Hope i cleared ur doubt.
Perfect round parathas remain a distant dream of mine :). These parathas look very healthy and nice, Harini.
