Moringa Paratha

"Moringa Parathas are easy to make and tasty too," says Devi.

"I am sure everyone will enjoy this recipe," she adds.

Ingredients

• 2 cups wheat flour
• 1/2 cup besan
• 1 cup moringa leaves (drumstick leavs)
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• 1/4 tsp chilli powder
• 1/4 tsp asafoetida
• 1/2 tsp methi powder
• 1/2 tsp ajwain
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp garlic finely cut (optional)
• 1 and 1/2 tbsp curd
• Salt to taste
• Oil for cooking

Method

• Take a mixing bowl. Add wheat flour, besan, all masalas, salt and mix well.
• Add cleaned moringa leaves and mix again.
• Add curd and knead to make a smooth dough. If required, you can add some water.
• If you add oil while kneading, the dough will bind better. Allow it to set for some time.
• Make small balls out of the dough and roll out flat like rotis.
• Heat tawa/pan and place the paratha.
• When one side is done, flip it, apply some oil and cook well.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• Serve hot with curd pickle or salad etc.

Note: Remember to remove small stalks of moringa leaves to prevent difficulty while rolling out the parathas.
