SPICY PUMPKIN PARATHAS (INDIAN FLAT BREAD)
Namaskara Earthlings! Or Shall I say Nama-Slay people of the Earth!
Halloween season dropped a giant pumpkin on my door step and I swear I have enough leftover roast pumpkin to feed an entire village! 🙈 Well, the real story is........ I ordered one full pumpkin on amazon prime instead of one slice and the rest is history. Twenty days later, still more frozen pumpkin in the fridge!
When I saw the giant mother of a pumpkin (I could barely carry the thing) I didn't know what to do with it! (thanks to amazon prime for door step delivery!) I order all my groceries from them.
After spending 10 thousand hours staring at the pumpkin wondering what to do, I sliced and roasted three giant batches of pumpkin in the oven with some salt, oil, crushed pepper and loads of garlic (roasted garlic is the best!)
And so...! I have decided to make some parathas with the left over roasted pumpkin (skin included!)
This is literally my superpower! I can take anything from the pantry or the fridge and make a nice meal out of it. Go ahead ask me and I will give you a quick fix recipe. I want to make it that easy for you! I challenge you! 😎
Lets get to it then!
Ingredients:
Roasted pumpkin (you can take a bunch of cubes of pumpkin and stir fry it in the pan with salt and pepper and some oil till it cooks and becomes all soft and squishy)
Coriander leaves
Coriander powder
Cumin powder
Salt
Roasted garlic
Green chillies / Chilli powder or use more pepper if you like.
Flour (whole wheat)
Water to knead the dough
Ghee to fry the parathas
Recipe:
Take the pumpkin, with all your energy smush it with a fork! Add the finely chopped coriander leaves, chillies to it. Add the salt and the dry spices, roasted garlic. Mix this well.
To this mix, add the flour - now the trick here is I used a 1 : 2.5 ratio of pumpkin mix : flour.
Knead the dough with some water, not too soft not too dry ( check out my Instagram page to see how - https://www.instagram.com/spice.woman/)
Take tiny round balls of the dough and flatten it out with a rolling pin on a flat surface , use some extra flour to avoid the dough sticking to the flat surface.
Fry the parathas with ghee (add as much as you like, don't be shy, ghee is good for you!)
I enjoy my parathas with Tomato Ketchup, because chutney/yogurt/pickle is too mainstream for spice woman 😎
Eat it how you like it!
