What just happened ? yesterday was a nice summer day and today cool foggy could not believe it in the morning.. well need to cheer up still got the whole day ahead.
So thought of making something different. Today I tried the Secret Paratha (its a soft leavening bread like naan) and made it out of all mom's secret ingredients spinach, chana daal, carrot and corn ! . Its every mothers dream that my kid eat veggies every day. So this is to all the mom's out there . Good luck and savor the taste of victory, your kid will ask for more.
Ingredients :
2 cup fresh chopped spinach
1/2 cup soaked chana daal
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup defrosted corn
whole wheat flour varies on th consistency of the dough from 1-2 cups
salt to taste
for base :
1 table spoon ginger garlic paste
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 teaspoon oil
method :
Start with a little big pan . Put oil in the hot pan followed by onions and ginger garlic paste. Give it a minute to cook. Then add the chana daal , stir it, cover it and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Do not add salt yet. Now add all the chopped vegetables , stir and cook uncovered until veggies are done. Now add salt to taste.
Let the mixture cool a little. Once cooled you can either used the chunkier version or can blend these ingredients in the food processor before kneading the dough.
Now start adding flour in the vegetable mixture and knead the dough. The dough should be soft enough to roll in to the shape of pancake using the rolling pin.
Heat a flat pan and when hot put the rolled paratha on the pan give it a minute on each side and then cook it with 1 teaspoon of oil to give it little brown spots on the third flip.
Your secret vegetable paratha is ready.
You can serve it with yogurt and/ or fried green chillies.
Enjoy

Did you know that...
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded after liftoff on this date in 1986, killing all seven crew members. After a comprehensive examination it was determined that cold weather contributed to an O-ring failure. ( www.wunderground.com)
Nice Idea. I usually make pure Spinach Paratha which look very green. I should try this next time.
