These vegetable paratha are soft and stay so even after cooling down. the cooked and mashed veggies give the parathas a soft texture. Since they remain soft, they make for a good tiffin box snack or lunch.

Tips for making mix veg paratha

1. This no onion no garlic veg paratha recipe is pretty flexible. You can add your choice of veggies. I have added following veggies: cauliflower, carrot, potato, spinach, french beans and green peas.
2. You can make it less or more spicy.
3. You can also add a bit of sugar if required.
4. Apart from the usual veggies, I have also added spinach. Instead of spinach, you can add any other greens like amaranth or fenugreek. This a good way to include veggies in the diet for kids.
5. To make work easier, the veggies can be steamed a night before. Next morning they can be mashed and then mixed into the dough.

Serve mix veg paratha with curd or pickle or topped with butter.

How to make mix veg paratha

1. Rinse, peel and roughly chop the veggies.

2. Then steam or boil the veggies in a pressure cooker or steamer till they are thoroughly cooked. If you are mixing the raw vegetables with water while cooking, then do not discard the water. Some of this water can be added to the dough while kneading. Also you can add this water to make soups or dals.

3. When the veggies cool down, then mash with a potato masher.

4. Mash very well.

5. Add finely chopped spinach. If you do not have spinach, then you can add other greens like amaranth or fenugreek/methi. Add chopped coriander leaves, green chili and ginger.

6. Add cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, asafoetida and salt.

7. Mix the spices and salt very well with the mashed veggie mixture.

8. Add whole wheat flour/atta. Make a well and add oil or ghee.

9. Bring everything together and start to knead. No need to add water while kneading. Add water only if its a must. Otherwise, the dough becomes sticky.

10. Knead to a smooth dough. In case if the dough becomes sticky, then add some more flour and knead.

11. Pinch medium-sized ball from the dough. Flatten & sprinkle some flour all over it.

12. Gently roll to the size of a chapati or roti. Add more flour if required while rolling.

Frying mix veg paratha

13. Place the rolled vegetable paratha on a hot tava.

14. When the base is one-fourth cooked, flip.

15. Spread some ghee or oil on this side.

16. Flip again when the second side is half cooked.

17. Apply ghee on this side now.

18. Flip again a couple of times to get the parathas browned and cooked well. We usually prefer well browned and crisp parathas, so we brown them more. Make all mix vegetable parathas this way and stack them up in a roti basket.
