These paratha are made with a combination of oats and wheat flour to initiate you to the taste of fibre filled oats. I have used the spring onion filling as it helps to disguise the raw taste of oats. These ar best served hot.
Ingredients
  • For The Dough
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
  • ⅓ cup coarsely ground quick cooking rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp curds (dahi)
  • salt to taste

  • ½ cup finely chopped spring onion greens

  3. For the spring onion filling
  4. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add the cumin seeds and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
  5. When the seeds crackle, add the garlic, green-chilli paste, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for a few more seconds.

  9. How to proceed:
  10. Roll out 2 portions of the dough, each into a 125 mm. (5") diameter circle, using a little wheat flour.
  11. Place a dough circle on a flat, dry surface and spread a portion of the filling over it.
  12. Place the other dough circle over it and seal it tightly.
  13. Cook the paratha on a non-stick tava (griddle), using ¼ tsp of oil, till it is golden brown in colour from both the sides.
  14. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make 1 more paratha.
