Zucchini Paratha brings together everyday Indian flatbread technique with a seasonal vegetable that blends seamlessly into whole wheat dough. Though zucchini is not traditionally Indian, it adapts beautifully to paratha-making because of its high water content and mild flavour. When kneaded with Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta, the dough stays soft and pliable, making it easy to roll and cook evenly. This recipe works well during the summer and monsoon months when zucchini is easily available. It is practical for busy mornings, lunchboxes, or a light dinner, offering flavour, texture, and balanced nourishment in one simple preparation.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prep Zucchini

Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water and trim both ends. Grate it finely using a standard grater. Gently squeeze the grated zucchini once to remove excess free-flowing water. Do not over-squeeze, as some moisture is needed to form the dough naturally.

Step 2: Make Dough

In a large bowl, combine Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta with grated zucchini, green chilli, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt, garam masala, grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon oil. Mix evenly with your fingers so the spices distribute well. Begin kneading; the zucchini will release moisture. Add water only if the dough feels dry. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and soft. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Cook on Tawa

Heat a tawa over medium heat. Place one rolled paratha on the hot surface. When small bubbles appear after 30–40 seconds, flip it. Apply a little oil or ghee on the cooked side. Flip again, apply oil or ghee on the other side, and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown spots form and the paratha cooks through.
