Shalgam Pepper Paratha is a winter paratha that balances the mild sweetness of turnip with the warmth of freshly crushed black pepper. Made using Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta, the dough absorbs water evenly, rolls smoothly, and stays soft after cooking. The result is a paratha that cooks evenly without cracking, keeping the peppery filling flavourful and well bound.
Combine Aashirvaad 100% MP Sharbati Atta and salt in a bowl. Add water gradually and knead into a soft, cohesive dough. Mix in the oil and knead again until the surface turns smooth. Cover and rest the dough to allow the Sharbati wheat to hydrate evenly and develop elasticity.

Stuffing Prep
Squeeze the grated shalgam firmly to remove all excess liquid. Transfer it to a bowl and add black pepper powder, salt, green chillies, ginger, and coriander leaves. Mix thoroughly until the stuffing feels dry, fluffy, and evenly seasoned, with no visible moisture pooling.

Filling & Rolling
Divide the rested dough into equal portions. Roll one portion into a small disc, place stuffing in the centre, and bring the edges together to seal. Flatten gently and roll into a medium-thick paratha. Use minimal dry flour to avoid stiff edges.

Tawa Cooking
Heat a tawa on medium heat and place the paratha on it. Flip once bubbles form, apply ghee, and cook both sides while pressing lightly. The Sharbati wheat base ensures even browning while keeping the centre soft and well cooked.

Rest & Serve
Remove the paratha from the tawa and rest it briefly. This allows steam to settle, keeping the layers soft. Serve warm to enjoy the full pepper aroma and the gentle sweetness of cooked shalgam.
