This beetroot-stuffed paratha is a flavourful and wholesome Indian flatbread. The dough, made from a mix of wheat and amaranth flours, is rested and then rolled out to encase a vibrant beetroot filling seasoned with spices. The stuffed paratha is then roasted on a tawa until golden brown and crispy. It makes for a hearty and nutritious meal, perfect for breakfast or lunch, and pairs wonderfully with yogurt or a side of chutney.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

30 grams wheat flour
30 grams amaranth flour
70 grams grated beetroot
2 teaspoons ghee
Salt, black pepper and red chilli powder to taste

Procedure:

In a bowl, add the flours, salt, and ghee, and knead the dough. Keep the dough for 15 minutes for resting.
Shred a beetroot and add salt, red chili, and black pepper to it. Mix them all well.
Prepare rounds out of dough, take around and roll it out, stuff a generous amount of the beetroot filling in the middle, and close the dough.
Roll it out again and put on Tawa to roast for 1-2 minutes, then flip the side.
Roast paratha until golden brown and crisp.

Nutritional Benefits:

Wheat flour and amaranth flour combine to offer a good source of complex carbohydrates and protein, while amaranth adds extra fiber and essential amino acids.
Beetroot is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as folate, manganese, and potassium, which support cardiovascular health and aid in detoxification.
Ghee, used in moderation, provides healthy fats and aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
