Bisi Bele Bhaat Parathas



I had read about parathas made using the left over cooked rice, so i thought why not try parathas with Left over Bisi Bele Huli Anna stuffing. Believe me it tastes really delicious and is very easy to make.

Ingredients:

For dough:
11/2 cup wheat flour
water to knead
salt

For stuffing:
1 cup mashed bisi bele bhaat
(make sure you remove the peanuts before mashing)

Here is how i made it:
1. Knead the dough in a mixing bowl and set it aside for 1/2 hour.
2. Divide the Bisibele bhaat mixture and the dough into small equal portions.
3. Oil your palms and flatten each portion of the dough.
4. Place each portion of the stuffing on the flattened dough and cover it from all the sides.




5. Roll each of them into thin paratha.



6. Pre heat the pan on medium flame. Apply oil on each side while baking them.



7. Serve hot parathas with any kind of raita or pickle.
