Gobi Parathas

I never knew that Gobi Parathas existed till a friends mom made them and fed us. I must say, Gobi has never tasted better. These parathas are a meal by themselves and dont really need any condiments.

Bhindi Paratha

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:

1. Start by chopping bhindi(okra) as fine as possible, you can also chop it in a food processor though that makes it pretty slimy.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Let the bhindi mixture cool for 5-7 minutes.
5. 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.
6. Shallow fry with a atleast a teaspoon of oil for each paratha.
7. Serve piping hot with ketchup, pappad or pickles.
