To prepare stuffing

Ingredients

Any vegetables - 1 cup (grated or finely minced) (Commonly used vegetables are potato, carrot, cauliflower, paneer, radish, green peas etc)
Onion - 1/4(grated or finely minced)
Garlic - 2 cloves(grated or finely minced)
Green chilly - 1/2(grated or finely minced)
Chilly powder - 1/4 tsp
Garam masala - a pinch
Turmeric Powder - a pinch
Cumin Powder - a pinch
Amchoor (Dry mango) powder - a pinch
Ajwain - a pinch
Salt - to taste

Method

Boil the vegetable/vegetables in salted water. Once it boils drain the water. Squeeze out the excess water using a dry kitchen towel.
Heat oil in a pan, fry the onions, green chilly and garlic.
Next add all the dry masala powders (turmeric, chilly, amchoor, cumin and garam masala). Sprinkle few drops of water so it doesn't get burnt.
Add this to the boiled vegetables and mix nicely. Check for salt and add if needed.

Ingredients

Whole wheat flour - 2 cups / Whole wheat flour - 1 cup + All purpose flour (Maida) - 1 cup
salt - to taste
oil - 1 Tbsp
warm water - 1/2 cup
Yogurt/ Curd - 3 Tbsp
Stuffing - 1 cup (Recipe given below)

Method

Mix the flour, salt, water and yogurt. Knead the dough. If the dough is little sticky, it gives very soft parathas.

Cover it with moist kitchen towel and let it rest for 1 hour.

Knead the dough again and make lemon sized balls.

Dip each ball into dry flour and roll out into a small circle using a rolling pin.The edges should be thinner than the center.

Place a tblsp of stuffing in the center.Bring all the edges of the rolled out chappatti to the center so it covers up the stuffing.

Seal it nicely and press it again to form a circle. Roll it out with your hands or with a rolling pin.

If small bubbles appear just prick it. If some stuffing pops out, just add some flour and roll again. (Alternatively, just mix the stuffing along with the dough and roll out.)

Place a griddle or dosastone on the stove at medium-high heat and apply oil. When the oil is hot, put the rolled out paratha on it.

While light brown spots appear, flip and let it cook.

Stuffed Paratha is ready.
