If you’re in the mood to try something different yet comforting, this Kathal Paratha is just what you need. It brings a delicious twist to your regular stuffed paratha routine. Made with raw jackfruit, it’s naturally high in fibre and has a wonderfully meaty texture that tastes surprisingly close to a classic keema paratha but without any meat at all. Kathal works beautifully in this recipe. Once kathal is cooked and shredded, it turns soft and fibrous. It soaks up those aromatic spices really well. The addition of roasted besan gives the stuffing a slightly nutty depth and helps bind everything together perfectly. The filling becomes rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. What makes it even better is the outer layer. The dough made with Aashirvaad Shuddh Chakki Atta cooks up soft yet crisp. You get that perfect golden finish on the tawa. Every bite feels hearty and full of flavour, just like a keema-style stuffing, but completely vegetarian. This kathal paratha recipe feels rich and comforting at the same time. It’s perfect for a slow weekend brunch or even a cosy dinner at home. Serve it hot with some curd, raita, pickle, or just a little butter or ghee melting on top; it just makes it even more delicious.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Pressure Cook the Kathal

Add chopped raw kathal and ½ cup water to a pressure cooker. Cook for 2 whistles. Let the pressure release naturally, and then drain excess water completely. Once slightly cooled, shred the kathal using your hands or a fork. Lightly mash it to get a keema-like texture. This step makes a big difference in the final stuffing.
