Vegan Paratha

Vegan Paratha is a delicious and flaky Indian flatbread stuffed with spiced vegetables, perfect for a hearty lunch. This dish is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 ml (adjust as needed)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oil - 2 tablespoons (for dough)
• Potato - 100 grams, boiled and mashed
• Peas - 50 grams, boiled
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh coriander - a handful, chopped
• Oil - for cooking, as needed

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. In another bowl, mix the boiled and mashed potato, boiled peas, green chili, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, and chopped coriander. Mix well to combine the filling.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape them into balls. Roll out one ball into a small circle on a floured surface.
4. Place a portion of the filling in the center of the rolled dough, then bring the edges together to seal the filling inside. Gently flatten the stuffed ball with your palms.
5. Roll out the stuffed ball into a larger circle, being careful not to let the filling escape.
6. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until brown spots appear.
7. Flip the paratha and drizzle a little oil on the cooked side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula.
8. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling, keeping the cooked parathas warm in a towel.
9. Serve hot with vegan yogurt or your favorite chutney.
