Corn Paratha

Everyone eagerly waits for summer to arrive to get active outside(to shed few pounds put on during holiday season(winter) and I was hoping for the same;no harm in hoping isn't it :)

We didn't feel summer this year as it was raining outside for last couple of weeks;not continuously but most of the summer weekends were wet(I hated that most;should say we(housewives)). We love to go out on weekends and get a well deserving break from our daily chores (especially if you have a toddler at home full time then........) to get charge for the week.

On one of the rainy sunday we went for grocery shopping; to be honest with you that's not my favorite task.We saw fresh corn and remember the 'bhutta gadi' and obviously we picked few ones but when we tasted it at home it was too soft and sweet and then I had to find smart way to incorporate it in a dish and I did.So here is my Corn Paratha.


Ingredients-
  • 1 cup Corn Kernels (grated or coarsely blended in food processor) or 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 1/2 cup wheat flour
  • 3-4 finely chopped green chilies
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander
  • 1 teaspoon cumin- coriander powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • pinch of hing/asfodia powder
  • salt(as per taste)
  • oil
  • cumin seeds

Method-
  1. First grate the corn or take a big bowl and place another small bowl upside down in a big bowl; then cut the base of corn and place that corn on the small bowl and slice the kernels of so it will fall in a big bowl. Put the kernels in food processor and blend it till you get a coarse texture.
  2. Add Kernels into wheat flour with turmeric powder,asfodia powder,cumin seeds,cumin-corriander powder, salt.
  3. Take garlic,green chilies,coriander leaves and chop it finely. Then add it to flour mixture.
  4. Add 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil then add water and knead it to make a soft dough.
  5. Now make small balls of dough; dust some flour on rolling board and roll it to make paratha.
  6. Put some oil/butter on pan and fry it then apply oil or butter on other side and fry it to golden brown color.
  7. Serve hot with pickle/curd/Vegetable.
