DIRECTIONS:
Combine the whole wheat flour and salt in a bowl and mix well. Add enough water and knead into a semi-stiff dough. Keep aside to rest.
Meanwhile, Mix all the ingredients listed under stuffing except salt. Mix them well.
Give the rested dough a quick knead. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and make balls. Once dough is divided add salt to the stuffing and mix well. Just keep in mind salt will release moisture so do not keep it for a longer time after adding the salt.
Flour the rolling area. Roll a ball of the dough into a circle of of about 4 inches diameter using a little whole wheat flour for rolling with the help of a rolling pin. Divide the prepared stuffing into six equal parts. Place one part of stuffing in the centre of the circle.
Bring together all the sides in the centre and seal tightly.
Roll again into a circle of about 6 inches diameter with the help of dry flour for rolling.
Heat an iron tava (griddle) or a non-stick tava and put the rolled out paratha diskette on the tava. After few seconds flip it over and cook from the other side for few seconds. Next, put 1 teaspoon of ghee or oil on the paratha and spread it. Flip it over and let it cook. Similarly apply some ghee or oil on the other side too and flip it over. Cook the paratha until golden brown spots appear on both the sides.
Repeat the same process with the remaining dough and stuffing to make more parathas. Serve hot with fresh curd, raita, pickle or butter. Enjoy!!!
