Soft, melt in the mouth and delicious flat breads or paranthas which can be eaten as is or with yogurt and pickles. You may serve it as a part of the Navratri spread as well like I did with Sabudana Khichdi and Lauki Kofte in coconut n peanut curry.

Here is the recipe !

Yields : 2 paranthas

Kitchen Equipments required : griddle or flat pan, flat spatula, bowl, grater, a small bowl of water.

Ingredients :

Potato : 1/2 cup, boiled and mashed

Amaranth / Rajgira flour : 1/4 cup

Ginger : 1 tsp, grated

Green chili : 1/4 tsp minced

Coriander leaves : 1 tbsp, chopped fine

Salt : to taste . Use Sendha namak for fasting.

Black pepper powder : a fat pinch

Note : If not making for fasting, use 1/2 tsp of coriander powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala and 1/4 tsp red chili powder.

  2. Divide the dough into 2 portions. Wet your hands from the small bowl of water.

  4. Pick one portion. Roll it in to a round. Expand between your hands and put it on the hot griddle. Note : You may expand it between 2 plastic sheets also.

  5. Lower the heat to medium once you put the paranthas on the hot griddle. Cook for 1&1/2 to 2 minutes till it gets slightly browned.

  6. Flip it with a flat spatula. Apply little oil (I use very sparingly) on the top side.

  7. Cook from the other side too for 2 minutes on medium flame. Flip and now apply oil to this side. Press with the flat spatula and roast from both the sides.

    Note : You may skip the oil and roast without oil. You may apply ghee or butter later on.

Enjoy these delightful glutenfree paranthas!
