Spiced Indian Flat Bread With Raw Papaya
I always get tempted with all the green and fresh vegetables in the market. Now since winter is setting in the vendors have a wide variety of vegetables. What attracted me was the small cute raw papaya sitting in one one of the vendor's baskets!! Bought it, came home and thought of how to use it! I made parathas, one of my experi-mental dishes. Turned out good, worth a share. So here goes my recipe with some tips from my son.
Ingredients
1 small raw papaya peeled and grated
1 small bunch of coriander chopped
A handful of mint leaves roughly chopped
2 grated gooseberries
2 tbspns of crushed chilli
1 tspn of cumin powder
Salt to taste
Some oil
Wheat flour as required
Method
In a mixing bowl or a paraat take all the above mentioned ingredients except the flour, mix well with your hand. Leave it for about 15 minutes to release juices and also the papaya to absorb the spices. Now start adding the wheat flour, keep mixing till you get a nice firm dough. Drizzle with oil, make small balls, roll out the parathas, roast on a pan as shown in the picture, use oil or ghee. They are ready to be served with some home made yogurt, pickle and kadhi.
