Using seasonal vegetables to fill Indian flatbreads or parathas is an easy way to add flavour, moisture, nutrients and texture without too much preparation. All you need are good agents; coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil, dependable traditional or healthier quality attas and a little salt. Reliable options include Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta, Aashirvaad Sharbati Atta, or the Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta with Multigrains.
As the temperature drops during the winter months, you find yourself ready to enjoy many things inside our homes, as it is much cooler than during the summer months. Winter vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, beets, turnips, squash, etc., have a better taste than summer vegetables. Parathas are one of the easiest ways to prepare winter produce with little thought or effort. You don’t have to have a complicated filling, nor do you have to make them in perfect shapes; simply use good veggies and seasonings combined with good-quality Atta. Some suitable attas are Aashirvaad Select 100% MP Sharbati Atta, which gives soft parathas, Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta with Multigrains, or Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta.
Juicy, mildly sweet winter carrots make an excellent addition to soft parathas and blend easily into dough with Aashirvaad Select 100% MP Sharbati Atta. The dough made with this flour yields soft, pliable rotis that contribute to the paratha's airy texture. This paratha makes a perfect choice for busy mornings when you need a warm, homemade meal.
With their gentle texture and sweet flavour, fresh winter peas are a great addition to parathas. You can use crushed peas in the filling to add texture to the paratha without making the filling mushy. A use of Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta helps keep the dough soft and pliable so that the flavour of the peas doesn't overpower the base and lets them shine through. This kind of paratha has a nostalgic feel but does not weigh the eater down.
A common fear among people trying their first radish is that it is overly strong, but winter mooli has a much gentler flavour than what is commonly believed. To ensure your paratha stays crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, always remember to squeeze out as much moisture as possible before making it. Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta absorbs moisture well, enabling you to create stable dough. A paratha made with Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta will have a warm, aromatic flavour and be perfect for cold winter mornings.
Winter spinach has a sweeter taste than other spinach varieties, making it easy to add to parathas. When finely chopped into such small pieces, it adds colour and nutrients to the dish without dramatically altering the overall flavour profile. Using Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta with Multigrains gives a nice texture from the added soluble dietary fibre, but does not change the overall flavour profile you have grown accustomed to.
Fresh methi is one of the luxuries of the winter season because, while slightly bitter in taste, it is rich in aroma. It complements parathas extremely well; when using Aashirvaad Select 100% MP Sharbati Atta, you can use a method to neutralise the bitterness of fresh methi, creating tender-textured parathas.
