Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, pliable dough. Incorporate 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil, kneading again until well mixed. Cover the dough and set aside for about 15-20 minutes.
-
Make the Filling: In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle. Next, stir in the chopped pumpkin, green peas, and diced potatoes. Mix thoroughly, and season with turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, asafoetida, and salt to taste. Allow the mixture to cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Roll the Parathas: Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls. Dust a clean surface with flour and take one ball, flattening it slightly between your palms. Roll it out into a thin, round paratha. Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of achari masala over one side, like a sauce. Roll the paratha tightly, similar to a Swiss roll. Gently press it again and dust with flour before rolling it out once more into a round shape.
-
Cook the Parathas: Heat a tava (griddle) or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot surface and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, using a little oil or ghee if desired. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and achari masala.
-
Assemble the Rolls: Take a cooked paratha and generously fill it with the potato and pumpkin masala. Fold in the sides and secure the top with a toothpick to hold everything in place.
-
Serve: Enjoy your Achari Paratha Rolls warm, paired with ketchup, a tangy dip of your choice, or alongside refreshing smoothies like a Banana and Mango smoothie or a Cocoa Almond Banana Date smoothie for a delightful culinary experience.
This Achari Paratha Roll is not only flavorful but also an ultimate comfort food, perfect for a satisfying snack or a quick meal option. Happy cooking!
