Makki Parantha Recipe| Cornmeal Veggies Parantha

1. Firstly, in a large mixing bowl take 1 grated radish, 1 grated carrot, 1/4 cup chopped radish leaves, 1/2 cup chopped fenugreek leaves (Methi) and 1 finely chopped green chili.

2. Then add 1 tsp or salt to taste, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp cumin coriander powder and 1/2 tsp carom seeds(Ajwain) to it.

3. Mix all the veggies and spices well.

4. Add 1.5 cup maize flour/ cornmeal to it and mix with veggies really well.

5. Add warm water to knead a smooth yet firm dough. Add water carefully because vegetables also have their own water. Very little water is used to prepare this dough. If the dough looks dry, then add some more warm water and if the dough looks sticky, then add a few tablespoons of maize flour.

6. Then just before preparing roti, knead the small portion again really well for couple of minutes. Shape it into a neat ball and flatten it.

7. Now, set plastic sheet or polythene bag over the rolling board and place the dough ball.

8. Rub some water on your hands. Now, gently press with your fingers and pat the dough till you get a round roti. When you sets plastic sheet, then there is no need of sprinkle/dust of maize flour. It is very neat and clean process. You can also roll it with rolling pin/belan or make the roti with the palms of your hand. But I found the way I have mentioned here the easiest and cleanest method. When the dough is patted, the edges won’t be even.

9. It is very easy to take the roti from plastic sheet to your hand, just take one corner of plastic sheet up and flip the roti gently on your hand. Now, spread some ghee or oil on a hot tawa. Gently place the makki veggies parantha on the tawa.
