Instructions
For the Paratha
Take the flour in a bowl
Knead a soft dough, like the way we do it for chapattis or any other stuffed paratha
Leave it to rest for a while approx. 10-15 mins
For the Stuffing
Heat a frying pan, add the oil.
Add the onions, green chilli and saute till transparent
Add the capsicum and aute till semi cooked
Add the pav bhaji masala and mix well.
Add the boiled & roughly chopped potatoes and the boiled and roughly chopped cauliflower
Mash in the pan and mix well
Switch off the flame and let the mix cool down completely
Transfer to a mixing bowl
Add the fresh coriander,lemon juice and mix well
Mash to almost a paste.
Ensure that it is dry mix and no water content at all.
Let’s make the Paratha now
Make about 8 equal balls from the dough
Take a ball of dough and roll it on a rolling pan till about 3-4 inches in diameter
Add a couple of spoons of the stuffing in the centre.
Pull the ends of the rolled paratha over the stuffing and seal it properly. Remove any excessive dough if required.
Make this into a ball again
Roll it to about 6 inches in size or to whatever best size you can manage
Heat up a tava
Put the rolled paratha on the tava and cook on medium heat on both sides
Once the paratha is cooked, increase the heat and apply some butter to the paratha on both sides and fry on both sides
Bring it down from the fire and serve
Notes
This paratha will go well with yoghurt or mint chutney.
