I usually add oats flour to whole wheat flour while kneading the dough for Roti / paratha.So when I chose to make something with Oats for the alphabet O, I wanted to make it a little different and not like the usual Roti.
My original plan was to make Obattu, the traditional way, but I was not in a mood make something elaborate and settled for this one.
I had some mint chutney that I made this morning and that found its way into this Paratha.I added a little bit of flaxseeds, poppy seeds and chia seeds as topping to add an interesting twist to the plain looking paratha.
This paratha does not need a side dish and is good to be packed in lunch boxes or to be taken along during travel. We had this with coffee and it was quite filling.
I am making some more for dinner tonight and I am sure my folks will not complain!
So,while I was making this one, Lil Angel too wanted to try her hand in making parathas.She keenly watched what I did and tried out a mini version of the same. I was so happy to see her take interest in cooking.She happily distributed the one she made to all at home and was so proud that she too cooked!!
Step by step method to prepare Oats-Chutney Paratha Recipe
Take wheat flour, oats, salt in a bowl. Mix well and add water little by little and knead into a smooth dough.Add oil and knead once again. Cover and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
Pinch out 2 equal sized portions of dough and roll out into 2 circles of the same size. On one circle spread mint chutney [or any chutney of your choice] and cover it up with the other circle.Seal the edges and brush the top with water. Sprinkle flax seeds, poppy seeds and chia seeds.
Press it down so that they stick to the dough.Cook on a heated griddle till brown spots appear on both sides. Remove from griddle and serve.
The seeds on top give a crunchy texture to the paratha.Serve with buttermilk / tea / coffee.
Note:
- Use any chutney of your choice
- Adding seeds on top is optional but it gives a crunchy texture to the paratha.
- I used black poppy seeds
