Hello friends!
Wishing you all a very happy Dussehra!
It’s been a while since I posted a recipe on my blog. I am pursuing my post graduation in MSC Food service Management and Dietetics in Queen Mary’s college. Yes, back to college after 24 years. I am thoroughly enjoying college and studying. College, studies and managing my home, keeps me totally occupied. Sometimes becomes quite hectic too. But no complaints. God has been really kind to give me another opportunity to study.
Now, coming to the recipe part, since it’s been really long, I thought I should post something today, today being the auspicious Vijayadashami day. I made a very healthy, crisp, yummy, melt in mouth, Moong Sprouts Paratha. It’s my own recipe, as always, very simple to make. I just used the regular ingredients available in almost everyone’s kitchen.
Paratha came out very well. My family enjoyed the hot Paratha with pickle and curd. They really appreciated my creation and gave a thumbs up to the new recipe.
And, I am happily sharing my recipe with you all. Hope you all would enjoy too:)

To make the Paratha

Divide the dough and the stuffing into 10 portions.
Take one portion of the dough, roll into a small circle. Keep one portion of the stuffing in the centre.
Close it on 4 sides and form a square. This is just an option. Fold as you desire.
Dust the stuffed dough and roll it into an uniform square shaped paratha.

Cook on a hot tawa using ghee till both sides turn golden and crisp.
Serve the paratha hot with some chopped onions, pickle and curd:)
