I have been thinking of doing this week’s healthy recipe and finally decided to do Oats Masala Paratha. Paratha, a stuffed Indian Bread which is so delicious and generally served as main dishes in most of the Indian Restaurants. We can have any filling inside paratha like Aloo, gobi, beetroot or any vegetable or even mixed vegetable masala. Oats are very healthy and fiber rich and just adding some masala to it and stuffeing inside paratha making a very delicious main course for lunch or dinner. The stuffing with oats is very simple and hardly takes less time to make scrumptious parathas which can be served with any raithas.

Oats Masala Paratha

Method:

Take wheat flour in a vessel. Add salt and add water little by little and make it to a soft dough. Add a teaspoon of oil and knead well and cover the vessel with a lid and keep it aside for 15 minutes

Meanwhile, lets make ready our filling. Take oats in a bowl and add salt, red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and chopped coriander leaves

Add water little by little and make it like a dough. Make 15 equal sized balls out of the filling and keep it ready for stuffing

Make 15 equal sized balls out of the paratha dough. Take one ball and roll it to a small circle using a rolling pin. Place the oats masala ball in the middle of the rolled paratha. Cover the dough so that the stuffing is completely sealed inside the dough

Again roll the stuffed paratha slightly thicker than the normal roti so that the stuffing doesn’t gets squeezed out of the dough. Repeat the same process for the rest of dough and filling. Heat a tawa and make sure flame is hot. We are going to cook the paratha and finally apply ghee/butter to it. Place a paratha on the tawa. Gently press the paratha on all places using a tissue till we get bubbles

Flip the paratha and apply ghee to the cooked side and allow the other side to cook. Once both the sides are cooked, apply ghee on other side also and remove from flame. Repeat the step for rest of parathas
