Method
- Knead the dough with some salt and water, until smooth.
- Make sure to add only a little salt since the filling will also contain salt. Set aside.
- In a bowl, take the kidney beans and mash them well.
- Make sure there isn`t much water in them.
- Add the rest of the ingredients: paneer and spices along with little salt.
- Mix well until blended.
- The mixture should be tight and not watery, otherwise you will not able to stuff them in the paratha.
- If the mixture is runny, add some all purpose flour/soy flour to bind it into a thick mixture.
- Take a small piece from the dough, roll it into a ball.
- Flatten it lightly with your hands and using a rolling pin, roll it into a small circle.
- Take a small ball of the filling - the filling should be less than the dough so that it is easier to wrap the dough over the filling.
- Place it in the centre.
- Bring all the sides up over the top of the filling and bunch it together.
- With the palm of your hands, press it down.
- It will flatten while covering the rajma filling.
- Now roll it gently making sure that the filling does not come out.
- Make it thick or thin whatever you prefer making sure to keep the filling inside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet med-high and place the paratha.
- Trickle some oil on all the sides of the paratha
- Turn afet 1-2 minutes or when you see brown spots.
- You don`t have to add oil again. Repeat this for all the parathas.
- Serve warm with spinach raita and pickle!
