CARROT STUFFED INDIAN BREAD


CARROT STUFFED INDIAN BREAD

INGREDIENTS:

For the parantha:
1 cup of wheat flour
1 tbsp of ghee
oil or ghee for frying
salt to taste

For the filling:
2 cups of grated carrots
2 tsp of oil
1/2 tsp of red chilli powder or more
3-4 pinches of aamchur powder
1 tsp of roasted jeera powder

METHOD

To prepare the filling: Heat the oil and and fry the grated carrots, adding all the spices. Fry on low heat for 2-3 minutes. Keep aside. The filling should be spicy and tasty.

Sift the flour, salt and ghee and add just enough water to knead into a dough. Divide the dough into 3-4 portions. Roll out each portion into a small sized chappati.
Hold this chappati in your palm and keep a portion of the prepared filling in the centre
of the chappati and close it from all ends to obtain a round ball.

Roll out this ball into a chappati and fry this parantha with oil or ghee on low fire till crispy and brown. Prepare the other paranthas in the same way.
Serve garnished with a bit of the filling and some spicy aachar.
