                                                      Parathas Made With Fresh Haldi
                                                  Indian Flat Bread With Fresh Turmeric

The parathas I am talking about have a distinct flavour and colour of fresh turmeric. The pungency hits the throat after you finish your morsel. The kitchen is filled with the aroma of fresh turmeric as soon as you start to peel and use it. The awesome yellowish tinge of the parathas comes from the same magic ingredient too.  I have not used any other aromatics since they would spoil the fun of the turmeric. Here goes my recipe.... 

Ingredients

 All the ingredients mentioned her need to be put in a mixi jar, ground to a coarse mix
2 cups of green peas
2 inches of turmeric peeled and chopped roughly
4 green chillies
Juice of 1 lime
Few sprigs of fresh coriander
Few leaves of mint 

Method

In a paraat, that is a big flat vessel which we use for making dough, empty the mix, add some oil, add only the required amount of wheat flour, salt as per taste, we will not be using water here, the only moisture will be from the ingredients. make a firm dough, rest it for about fifteen minutes, make equal sized balls, roll out thinly, roast with oil on both sides. They are ready to be served with any sauce, chutney or yogurt.  This picture shows you the beautifully coloured dough.
