KUTTU KA PARATHA / BUCKWHEAT FLOUR FLATBREAD / FARALI RECIPE / NAVRATRI SPECIAL


Kuttu or Buckwheat flour parathas are usually made on fasting days especially during Navratri when most of the grains and vegetables are not allowed. These are actually vegan, gluten-free and very healthy.

Ingredients:
Buck wheat flour / kuttu ka ata ..... 1 cup or as needed
Desi ghee or oil ..................... as needed
Potato ................. 1 (boiled and peeled)
Coriander leaves .... handful
Green chillies ........ 2 (finely chopped)
Cumin seeds .......... 1/2 tsp
Rock salt / senda namak .... to taste

Method:
1. In a large plate or bowl mash the potato.
2. Add the buck wheat flour.
3. Add all the ingredients and 1/2 a tbsp of ghee.
4. Mix them together.
5. Knead them together adding little water as the boiled potato already has the moisture.
6. Rub a little ghee in your hands and knead it to a smooth texture.
7.Cover it with a cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
8. Divide the dough into 4-5 portions.
9. Grease the parchment paper and roll out the parathas.
10. Transfer it to the hot griddle.
11. Make the parathas flipping the sides and spooning a little bit of ghee on them.
12. You can serve them with curd or any farali sabzi.
