Paratha - carrot, paneer and a sweet surprise

Hi,
For me its very easy to hide all the vegetables i want my kids to eat in the paratha.
Anyways so i decided to try a different combination usually potato and paneer are versatile so i just kicked up a notch and substituted potato for sweet potato and carrot.
I hope your family will enjoy this recipe as mine.

Ingredients:
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup boiled and mashed sweet potato
1 cup shredded paneer ( indian cottage cheese)
6 -8 Precooked roti or tortilla of your choice depending
1 cup shredded or small cubes of mozzarella cheese
salt to taste
1 teaspoon garam masala
2 teaspoon ginger - garlic paste
oil to cook

Method:
Mix in a large bowl carrot, paneer and mashed sweet potato, add ginger garlic paste and salt to taste.
Now on a board/plate start assembling your paratha - first place your cooked roti on the plate and layer the veggie mixture on it. On top of it place your cheese just like you would be making quesadilla.


Now fold it in to half. Mean time heat a nonstick Tawa, place your paratha on it.
Now your ingredients does not need much cooking time and your roti is cooked too. So here we are just melting the cheese.
Add a little oil to get the nice golden brown color.

Cut in to triangle and serve hot with a dollop of salsa or hummus of your choice.
This serves as a great meal, after school snack or even better send it in your kids school lunch box. Very nutritious and healthy.

Enjoy
