Kuttu/singhare (atta) ka paratha -Navratri Special!!

OMG! Navratri is here and I am fasting!! Poori is unhealthy and very oily?? Not a good choice if on diet correct?? 
Never mind try this super easy "paratha" and enjoy fasting!!



Ingredients:

  1. Kuttu/singhare ka Atta - 2 cups (75 to 100 grams)
  2. Potato - 3 medium sized (boiled and peeled)
  3. Green chili - 1 (finely chopped)
  4. Sendha namak (rock salt) - To taste
  5. Ghee/butter/oil - 1 tea spoon for 1 paratha

Procedure:

  1. Take a plate and finely mash the potatoes
  2. Add atta + green chili + salt to the mashed potato and knead it until it becomes like a regular chapati/roti dough 
  3.  Now make 4 to five medium sized balls out of it.
  4. Take one ball at a time and coat it with flour and roll it like a chapati/paratha
  5. Now take tava (frying pan/plate) and place the paratha on to the hot plate and add 1 tea spoon of ghee/butter/oil and fry it until it is cooked from both sides.
  6. Cook on low flame if you are using less ghee/butter/oil. You may cook on high flame if you are cooking with 2 to 3 tea spoon of ghee/butter/oil for one paratha.


Important Notes:

  • If the dough is very soft and sticky, add atta to it. If the dough is very hard add boiled potato to it.
  • Do not apply much pressure while rolling the chapati/paratha as it may stick to the surface. 
  • No water should be used at all
  • These paratha ten to have broken edges, so don't worry much
  • You may add cumin seeds and coriander leaves as per your wish while kneading the dough. I did not add

Enjoy Fasting!
