Gajar Halwa, generously garnished with dried fruits, is something that we all enjoy eating. But it can still be enjoyed when it is used to make stuffed parantha. Yes, that is right! You can now make these heavenly ghee roasted paranthas at home and relish them with your loved ones.
Ingredients
1 cup ready-made gajar halwa
2 cups refined flour (maida) + for dusting
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon green cardamom powder
A pinch of saffron, soaked in 1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons ghee + for applying
Method
Take refined flour in a bowl, add salt, green cardamom powder, soaked saffron, 1 cup water and ghee and mix well. Knead into a soft dough. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
To make each parantha, take a portion of dough and shape it into a ball. Make a cavity in the centre and stuff with a generous portion of gajar halwa, bring the edges to the centre and pinch to seal
Dust the worktop with some refined flour, place the stuffed dough ball on it and roll it into a small thick disc.
Heat a non-stick tawa, place the disc on it and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes. Flip, apply some ghee and continue to cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes. Flip again, apply ghee on the other and cook for a few seconds.
Arrange the paranthas on a serving plate and serve warm.
