Vegetable Paratha Recipe In Gujarati (ગુજરાતી માં વાંચો)
| Ingredients: |
| 1 cup + 1/2 cup Wheat Flour |
| 1/4 cup shredded Carrot (gajar) |
| 1/2 cup shredded Cabbage |
| 1/4 cup finely chopped Capsicum |
| 2 tablespoons finely chopped Spring Onion or Normal Onion |
| 2 tablespoons finely chopped Fenugreek (Methi) Leaves, optional |
| 1 teaspoon crushed Ginger-Garlic or paste |
| 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder |
| 1/4 cup Green Peas, boiled and mashed |
| 1 tablespoons finely chopped, Coriander Leaves |
| 1 Green Chilli, finely chopped |
| 1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder |
| 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder |
| 2½ teaspoons + for shallow frying Oil |
| Salt |
Directions:
Heat 1-teaspoon oil in a non-stick pan over medium flame. Add carrot, cabbage, capsicum, spring onion, fenugreek leaves and crushed ginger-garlic. If you are using normal onion, first sauté it for a minute and then add remaining vegetables.
Sprinkle salt and turmeric powder over it. Mix well and sauté until vegetables are tender, for approx. 3-4 minutes. Add mashed green peas.
Mix well and turn off the flame. Let sautéed mixed vegetables cool for 5-minutes.
Take 1-cup wheat flour, 1-teaspoon oil and salt in a bowl. Add cooked vegetablemixture, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilli, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and coriander powder. Mix them properly.
Knead smooth and little stiff dough (like paratha dough) using asmall amount of water (approx. 1-2 tablespoons). Grease its surface with 1/2 teaspoon oil, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, divide dough into 8 equal parts and give them a round shape like aball.
Take 1/2 cup dry wheat flour in a plate for dusting. Take one dough ball and flatten it to give a shape like pattie. Coat it with dry wheat flour and place it on a roti making board.
Roll it out into a approx. 6-7 inch diameter raw paratha.
Heat a tava/griddle over medium flame. When tava is hot, place raw paratha on it. When tiny bubbles startto rise on the surface, flip it and reduce the flame to low.
Spread 1/4 teaspoon oil around edges and 1/4 teaspoon oil over surface with the help of a spatula and cook for approx. 30-40 seconds. Flip it again and spread another 1/4 teaspoon oil around edges and 1/4 teaspoon oil over its surface. Press it with spatula and let it cook for 30-40 seconds over medium flame. Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
Follow the same process for remaining dough balls. Mixed vegetable paratha is ready. Serve with curd and pickle.
Tips and Variations:
- Add the mixed vegetables of your choice and according to the availability.
- Mash the boiled peas properly to avoid tearing of dough while rolling out the paratha.
- You can also use boiled vegetables like potato, carrot, cabbage and green peas instead of sautéed one. Boil vegetables of your choice, drain excess water, mash them using apotato masher and mix with wheat flour and spices and make a dough.
- For variation, you can make the triangle shaped vegetable parathas instead of round shaped.
Taste: Soft and mild spicy
Serving Ideas: It can be served with cucumber raita as a healthy breakfast. Wrap it in aluminium foil and pack it in your kid’s lunch box.

Hi, everytime I try making these, I go wrong at step 5 above. The mixed vegetables mixed along with the flour just ends up too soggy, I end up mixing a lot of extra flour to get it to the right consistency to roll but it always end up looking and tasting more of atta and very less vegetables. I have tried various variations, including draining all water from vegetables before mixing in dry flour but it is still very wet and i end up just pouring lots of flour to make the dough firm enough to roll. Please advice on this.
Response: Hi Jaya, thanks for trying the recipe. Did you cook the mixed veggies in step-2? After cooking they should turn semi-dry. Whether you are using boiled vegetables or raw vegetables, cook them in a non-stick pan (in step-2) until almost water evaporates and mixture turns semi-dry; then cool them down before mixing with the flour. If you are making it in large quantity then it will take more time to cook the vegetables in step-2. Make sure that you cook the vegetables in a pan after boiling.
