Servings: 5
Ingredients
- ½ cup Rajma/ red kidney beans
- 2 Green chilli finely chopped
- ¼ cup Coriander leaves finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Garam masala powder
- ½ teaspoon Amchoor powder
- 1 teaspoon or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- Salt
- 1 cup Wheat flour
Instructions
- Keep aside. Soak rajma overnight and pressure cook it with water just to immerse it, for 4 whistles. Drain water completely and grind well. Meanwhile mix flour, salt with water (½ cup approx) and prepare dough.
- Add all the other ingredients to ground rajma and mix well. Make 5 equal sized balls out of rajma and dough. Dough balls also should be same size as the rajma balls. If dough is more, keep aside and use only as required.
- Roll each ball into small thick rounds and keep the rajma stuffing in middle. Gather the ends and cover the stuffing. Roll into thick parathas with generous dusting. I use maida for dusting, you can use atta too.
- Cook both sides over hot tawa until golden spots appear. You can add ½ teaspoon of oil or ghee both side while toasting. Press gently with spatula/ ladle to ensure even cooking. Don't press hard though.
Notes
- Keep the dough resting for sometime for softer parathas.
- The prepared stuffing should be dry, not gooey. For this, you have to cook rajma perfectly. If it gets mashed up while cooking itself, then it will retain water and become gooey when ground.
- You can add oil while preparing the dough.
