GREEN BEANS PARATHA / FRENCH BEANS PARATHA

Hey all ! Interesting paratha recipe :-)
This recipe is just an experiment of mine..
I had extra boiled beans and I tried to
 make parathas..To my surprise,it came
out real good :-)

GREEN BEANS / FRENCH BEANS PARATHA RECIPE:

Recipe cuisine: Indian / Recipe category: Main Course

Prep time: 30 mins / cook time: 30 mins

FOR THE DOUGH:

Wheat flour : 2 cups

Water : As required

Salt : As required

Oil : 1 tsp + 1/8 cup for frying parathas

FOR THE STUFFING:

Green beans (boiled n chopped) : 1 cup

Cumin powder : 1 tsp

Turmeric powder : 1 tsp

Garam masala : 2 tsp

Salt : As required

Oil : 2 tsp

METHOD:

Take flour in a bowl, add salt & water slowly.

Start to knead the dough and make a smooth dough.

Pls make sure dough is not sticky or not hard.

Now add 1 tsp oil & knead the dough again.

Cover & keep aside in a air tight container for

15 - 20 mins.

Boil the beans til very soft & chop it in mini chopper or blender.

Now squeeze gently to remove any excess water.

In a microwave safe bowl, transfer the beans. Add

1 tsp oil, garam masala, cumin powder, salt &

 turmeric powder. Mix well. Microwave for 2 mins.

 Now take a dough ball & roll it to

form a small disc. Apply water all over the disc and place

stuffing in the middle. Pls start to cover the stuffing with dough

as per the pics below :) Keep the dough stuffed with beans
upside down till you finish stuffing the remaining dough.

Now grab the first dough stuffing & dust it with as much
wheat flour as possible both the sides. Start to roll the
dough stuffing gently with a rolling pin and make parathas.

Heat pan in medium flame. Once the pan is hot, transfer

the parathas. Start to cook both the sides with 1/2 tsp of oil.
Once parathas turn golden brown colour both the sides, remove it .
Continue the same process for rest of the parathas :)

 Serve hot parathas with your favourite sabji / dahi & achar :-)

NOTE:
* The dough should be soft & firm. If it is sticky or hard,
parathas will become hard.
* We can also use the water we squeeze out from beans,
to knead the dough.
* For the stuffing, please use masala of your choice.
* While rolling the stuffed dough dusting flour is important.
In case if the dough breaks and stuffing comes out, the flour
will help to patch the same.
* The stuffing has to be dry & not watery. If not, while rolling
parathas will break. Instead of microwaving the stuffing, just
cook it in normal pan with oil :-)
* I like to roll the parathas thin, if you want pls roll it a bit thicker.
* For frying paratahs, I used olive oil. Ghee or butter can also
be used.
