Whole wheat flour | atta 1 cup Besan | chickpea flour | gram flour 2 tblsp Zucchini 1 cup (grated) Cumin seeds 1 tsp Red chilli powder 1 tsp Amchoor powder 1/2 tsp Garam masala 1/2 tsp Salt as needed Water few drops Plain flour 3 tblsp (for dusting) Oil 3 tsp + few tsp for cooking
Method :
- Grate the zucchini, i used the small hole ones.
- In a wide bowl add the whole wheat flour, grated zucchini, besan flour, cumin seeds, red chili powder, amchoor powder, garam masala and salt.
- Mix well.
- The Zucchini will ooze out water so just add very few drops of water to this.
- Knead the dough and add 3 tsp of oil.
- If you feel the dough is sticky, add 1-2 tblsp of flour to this.
- Immediately start making the paratha.
- If you leave it for sometime, it will ooze out more water.
- Make the dough into equal big lemon sized balls.
- I used plain flour for dusting.
- It is purely optional. If you are comfortable dusting with atta, as we do for chapathis it is fine.
- I recently started using plain flour for dusting these type of sticky parathas, and it rolls up so well.
- Dust the dough ball in flour and roll it into a medium sized paratha.
- I used a plate to cut them into perfect roundels.
- Heat a tawa and cook the zucchini paratha on both sides. Smear few drops of oil.
- Repeat the same for the rest of the dough.
- Do not add water to the dough, mix it well and just add few drop of water only if needed.
- Zucchini can be replaced with radish or bottle gourd.
- You can add few finely chopped coriander leaves or mint leaves.
