Layered Veggie Paratha

Layered Veggie Paratha step by step instructions:

Well, a more appropriate name to it would be “Indian veggie lasagna”, as it is prepared in layers. One layer of roti, then veggies, then a roti layer again; and the process goes on. And finally, we have to bake it.
I baked it in convection mode of my LG microwave.

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Green peas: ½ cup (75 gms, boiled)
Carrot: 1 (50 gms, finely chopped, boiled)
Red bell pepper: 1 medium (140 gms, finely chopped, boiled)
Yellow bell pepper: 1 medium (142 gms, finely chopped, boiled)
Tomatoes: 2 medium (145 gms, finely chopped)
Onion: 1 medium (84 gms, finely chopped)
Oil: 1 tbsp
Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
Red chili powder: ½ tsp
Oregano: ½ tsp (optional)
Black pepper as per taste
Salt as per taste
Whole wheat flour: 1 cup
Milk: 1 cup
Cottage cheese (Paneer): ¾ cup (125 gms, crumbled)

Method:
1. Knead smooth dough by mixing whole wheat flour, salt and ½ cup milk. Keep aside for half an hour.

2. Heat oil in a kadai. Add cumin seeds and fry for a few seconds.
3. Add onions and fry until translucent.

4. Add tomatoes and cook for about a minute.

5. Add the boiled vegetables (green peas, carrot, red and yellow capsicum). Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add salt, red chili powder, black pepper, and oregano. Mix well.

6. Make 6 equal balls of the dough.

7. Take one ball and roll into a thin circle.

8. Heat tawa. Semi-cook the roti from both the sides.

9. Similarly, cook all other rotis.

10. Grease a baking dish.
11. In a big plate pour milk.

12. Dip one roti in the milk and keep the roti in the baking dish.

13. Spread the veggie mixture over it.

14. Again dip another roti in the milk and keep it over the veggie layer.
15. Now spread cottage cheese.

16. Again cover it with milk-dipped roti.

17. Repeat the process with the remaining rotis and veggie mixture.

18. Preheat the oven, at 180 degree Celsius.
19. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
20. Cut into 4 equal parts and serve hot with chutney, ketchup etc.

21. Healthy “Layered Veggie Paratha” is ready!

Tips:
1. Veggies can be chosen as per one’s choice.
2. Dipping the rotis in milk keeps them soft after baking.
3. Instead of whole wheat flour, you can opt for other flour also like maize, all-purpose flour etc.
