Paratha - mixed vegetable

I know for me its a question every now and then what would be a healthy but quick fix for my kids. While talking to my mom the other day she reminded me of this Paratha that I would love to share with you.

Total start to finish less than 30 minutes...i love it already!

Ingredients:
3 cups of finely chopped spinach
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
1/2 cup boiled and mashed peas
1 cup boiled and mashed sweet potatoes
2 cloves garlic mashed
1 green chili, finely chopped
3 cups wheat flour
1 cup gram flour ( Besan)
2 tablespoon yogurt
Salt to taste
Oil to cook

Method:
Mix everything in a large mixing bowl except oil.
Let the dough sit for 3-4 minutes covered with wet muslin cloth.
Heat the griddle.
Now roll the dough in to the quarter size balls and roll them out on the counter to the size where they are medium thin. Since your griddle will be hot by this time, place your paratha on it
Cook each side for about 1-2 minutes until you see slight golden brown spots on it and then flip for the other side.
Before the third flip put some oil in the pan..hear the sizzle, press it a little with the spatula to cook evenly on both the sides and your first paratha is ready.
 Continue doing the rest of the paratha's in this manner.
You will get about 12-15 paratha's depending on your size of the dough balls.

I promise everyone will ask for the seconds...
Enjoy.
