Holi is the festival of colours. Let's add some colour to the food as well to celebrate this festival. make a colourful layered paratha using the pureed spinach, beetroot and carrots to knead the dough.
Ingredients:
Spinach ........... 2 cups
Carrots ........... 1 cup
Beetroot ......... 1
Wheat flour and Maida ... Half and half (as needed)
Ajwain / carom seeds ... 1 tsp
Salt .......................... to taste
Ghee ..................... as needed
Method:
1. Boil the beetroot, carrot and spinach separately. Puree them and set aside.
2. Take flour and knead with each colour separately adding a little salt, ghee and carom seeds. Also knead one portion of plain flour for white colour.
3. Now take a small portion of each colour and roll out a roti.
4. Place the rolled rotis one on top of the other and roll out a little more so that they stick together.
5. Carefully roll them together into a cylindrical shape. With a sharp knife cut out a slice carefully.
6. Roll the piece into a small paratha. Do not use flour for rolling. You can just apply a little oil to make the rolling easy.
7. Make the parathas on the griddle spooning a little ghee. You can even fry puris the same way if you like.
