Envelope Parathas

I just made this today, adapted from one of Tarla Dalala's recipe books,  these parathas are easy and tasty. I enjoyed making them though I was not in a mood to cook.

For the Stuffing.

*Boiled and mashed potatoes - 1 cup
*Mixed vegetables - carrots, peas, cauliflower, corn - 1 cup
* Green chilli - 1
* Chopped coriander - a few stems ( 4-5)
* Gharam masala - 1/2 tsp
* Chat masala - 1/2 tsp
* Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
* Salt

Mix all the ingredients for the stuffing and keep aside.

For the parathas,

* Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
* All purpose floour - 1/2 cup
* Oil - 2 tbps
* Water -as needed

Mix all the ingredients above adding water slowly to form a firm but soft batter.

Divide the batter into small balls. Roll each ball out into small tin chappatis.

Place the stuffing in the center and fold on all sides to close the stuffing. The paratha should look like a rectangular envelope.

Place on heated pan and cook till both sides are cooked properly. U can use ghee if required to cook the parathas.

Serve with ketchup or boondi raitha.

Here is a picture of what I cooked today, though the parathas don't look very appetising in there, I am sure they will look much better the next time I make them. Happy Cooking :D

Had to do with ketchup this time, next time will try the boondi raitha.
