Okra (Bhindi) Paratha


I never get bored of making paratha!! As i always make a new variation. Yesterday for lunch i made Okra (Bhindi) Paratha.

Ingredients
Okra 250 gms (Bhindi)
Oil 3 tbsp
Chilli powder 1tsp
Salt to taste
Ghee or oil - for roasting

For dough
Oats flour 200 gms
Wheat flour 50 gms
water
Salt
Oil to grease the dough

Method

1. Wash okra under cool running water
2. Remove the tops of each and cut in round shape say about i/2 inch
3. In a pan put oil, once heated add the okra salt and red chilli powder. Mix well on high flame for 10 mins and 5 to 7 mins on low flame. Ensure the okra is not sticky
4. While you okra is getting cooked, lets make the flour. Knead the dough with water, a pinch of salt. Grease oil on the atta once done. Make sure the flour is not too soft as it will become difficult to roll



5. Let the okra cool for 5- 7 minutes
6. Now make small balls of the dough and roll it to a small size roti, stuff the okra mixture and seal it
7. Cover with dry flour and roll gently
8. Put it on the hot tava and roast on low flame


9. Add oil for each paratha as required

I had made radish, tomato and coriander chutney. Also had papad.




Few tips

1. If you don't have oats you can make this paratha using normal flour
2. I like it spicy so adding 1 tsp, you can reduce if don't want it spicy  Incase you need more spice you can add more chilli powder
3. You can also add chat masala, jeera powder if required
