Pudina Paratha/ Mint paratha/Mint wheat flat bread

My Muse, mint...continues to linger its effect one me..


In this post I am posting how my trial worked. well it had 2 outcomes, both of them were  great.


Things we need
Mint -  a bunch (Washed and leaves plucked)
Green chillies - 3 Well chopped
Salt
Ajwain / Til seeds /carom seeds/ Omam - 1 spoon
Wheat Flour - 2 cups
Gram flour - 1/2 cup
Ghee
Chaat Masala


Trial 1
Chop the mint leaves. Take the wheat flour, gram flour, salt, mint, green chillies and the carom seeds and knead it into a dough and set it aside for half an hour.


Make small ball of the dough and roll them out into parathas. Have a skillet ready and hot and place the paratha on it. Set the flame to a medium heat. Flip the paratha over on the other side and spread a little ghee. Do the same on both the sides. Browny on both sides, the paratha is ready to eat.
This one was great to make & it tasted yummy with just some pickle and curd.







Trial 2
Its a very slight variation. I did not mix the mint and chillies with the dough


Take the wheat flour, gram flour, salt and the carom seeds and knead it into a dough and set it aside for half an hour.


Make small ball of the dough and roll them out a bit. Do not make it too thin. At this stage, sprinkle some chopped mint and green chillies and roll the pin on top of it a bit. I also sprinkled a pinch of Chaat masala on it for a little different twist. 


Now make the paratha the same way but the side with mint, just be watchful that you don't burn the mint. That is all. 
The second method looked a lot like the ones served in restaurants.
