This sprout paratha brings together the comfort of homemade parathas with a filling made using sprouts for a more wholesome everyday meal. Unlike regular parathas cooked on a flat tawa, this version is roasted in a kadhai, giving the edges an extra crisp texture while keeping the centre soft. The recipe was shared as part of the Aashirvaad Paratha Challenge and focuses on making familiar food more nourishing for children without moving too far from flavours they already enjoy. Served hot with achar and malai, it works equally well for breakfast, lunchboxes, or slow weekend meals at home.
Put a kadhai on medium flame, add green onion and green chilli. Then add the sprouts and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Lower the flame and mash the filling with a bowl. salt, spices, and coriander leaves. Mix well.
Cooking parathas in a kadhai helps create crisp edges while keeping the centre softer. The curved surface distributes heat differently and gives the parathas a slightly roasted texture.
Moong sprouts work especially well because they mash easily and absorb spices properly. Mixed sprouts can also be used for additional texture and flavour.
Yes, sprout parathas stay soft for several hours and work well in lunchboxes. Pairing them with pickle or curd helps keep the meal balanced and filling.
Avoid overfilling and ensure the dough is soft but not sticky. Sealing the edges properly before rolling helps keep the filling inside during cooking.
Yes, onion and chilli can be skipped for a milder version, especially for children. The sprouts and spices still provide enough flavour to the filling.
