Ingredients
1 lb bhindi (okra)
4 cups whole wheat flour
salt to tast
1 tbsp red chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
5 tbsp vegetable oil
Steps to follow:
- Start by chopping bhindi(okra) as fine as possible, you can also chop it in a food processor though that makes it pretty slimy.
- In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil, add chopped bhindi, salt and red chilli powder, mix well and cook for 10 minutes. Keep mixing it ever so often to cook it evenly.
- While the bhindi is cooking, knead the wheat flour with water, a pinch of salt, turmeric and a tablespoon of oil. Make sure it is not too soft that makes it difficult to roll into a roti.
- Let the bhindi mixture cool for 5-7 minutes.
- Now take a small ball of the dough and roll to a small sized roti, stuff it with the bhindi mixture, seal completely, cover it with dry wheat flour and roll gently.
- Shallow fry with a atleast a teaspoon of oil for each paratha.
- Serve piping hot with ketchup, pappad or pickles.
