Paratha is a easy, healthy flat bread with goodness of vegetables, is a meal in itself! It isquite a filling meal to suit any time of the day…. be it breakfast, lunch or snack! Ever since i tried frozen Deep brand Veg Paratha, I’m in love with it… they were so handy for a quick morning breakfast or quick lunch box fix. I know too much of these store bought stuff is not good, so made an attempt to try the same at home. Did havesuccess matching the taste… then started making huge batch over weekends and freeze them for future use. Thaw them over a tawa or microwave before serving and they are good to go. Unlike regular chapati which tend to become hard in this cold weather… these parathas remain soft for a long time making them great for kids lunch box. Hey, here’s a solution to feed those tough kids who run awayfrom vegetables….:-D 🙂 🙂

    MIXED VEGETABLE PARATHA RECIPE (24)

  • Sid likes this a lot and in the early morning rush, it comes very handy to pack a lunch box. You don't even need any side or dip... they taste good plain! I follow the same steps and try different stuffing each time... aloo / paneer / gobi paratha are some of our favorites.

Notes

I've used quick frozen vegetables(carrot+beans+corn)combo. You can use veggie of your choice. Usually carrot, potato, beans go well... in my case corn is for sweetness. Of course store bought cut vegetables are slightly bigger in size, but once you steam and cook over tawa they mash a bit making them perfect for paratha.
Do not skip the spice powder, it adds that kick to each bite. Also try to ground them to a coarse texture.
Brush it with ghee before serving and even a very tough picky kid will ask for a second serve!
Freezing is just an option for working parents but do try them fresh too! 😛
