Pumpkin Parathas
Pumpkin Parathas are soft, flavorful Indian flatbreads stuffed with spiced pumpkin filling. Nutritious, slightly sweet, and lightly spiced, these parathas make a wholesome breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. Perfect for seasonal pumpkin lovers, they pair well with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
Cooking Method
- Peel and grate the pumpkin finely.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan, add grated pumpkin, and sauté for 3–4 minutes.
- Add salt, red chili powder, garam masala, and optional sugar. Cook until the pumpkin is soft and moisture evaporates. Let it cool.
- Mix wheat flour, 1 tsp oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Knead into a soft dough using water as needed. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a small circle.
- Place a spoonful of pumpkin filling in the center and fold the edges to seal.
- Roll gently into a flat paratha, taking care not to spill the filling.
- Heat a tawa or non-stick pan on medium heat. Cook each paratha with a little oil or ghee on both sides until golden brown.
- Serve hot with yogurt, chutney, or pickle.
