Stuffed Rice Parantha - Put leftover rice to perfect use

Woke up in the morning with no idea what to cook for breakfast and wolla got an idea I had some leftover rice why not prepare stuffed rice pranthas and believe me "What an idea Sirji" . It was an instant hit.  So here goes the recipe try it out and put the leftovers to perfect use.

Ingredients :-

For the filling:-

Cooked rice - 1 cup

onion 1 finely chopped

green chillies finely chopped 3

fresh coriander leaves finely cut 3 tbsp

fresh mint leaves  finely cut 2 tbsp

ginger finely cut 1 tbsp

anardana 1 tbsp

salt to taste

ajwain/carom  seeds 1/2 tsp

garam masala 1tsp (optional)

For the dough :-

Whole Wheat Flour - 2 cup

water

salt to taste

oil  1 tbsp

Method :-

1. To prepare the dough mix flour and salt and make a deep well and start adding water little by little to make a smooth dough. Let the

dough rest for some time and when ready to prepare take 1 tsp of oil and work on the dough again.

2. For the firstly mash the rice as we mash the potato while preparing allu parantha and then add all the other ingredients. Adjust salt to taste.

3. To make the prantha take a small ball of dough little bigger than that for chappati and roll it into a small roti . Now apply some oil and fill in 2 1/2 Tbsp of filling and close the roti to make a small ball. Now roll it into a roti of 1/2 inch thickness.

4. Put on hot tava and cook from both sides by applying oil.

5. Serve hot with curd and pickles.Image

Tips:-
1. Make sure that coriander and mint leaves don't have any moisture left after cleaning otherwise the filling would become soggy.
2. Chop onion and chillies very finely otherwise the prantha will tend to break.
3. Don't prepare prantha on low heat , they will turn out hard.
