Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Water, as needed
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Mushroom Stuffed Paratha

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead until you have a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
2. While the dough is resting, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
3. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then, add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are soft and any moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in coriander powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
5. Divide the rested dough into equal portions (about 4-6). Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly.
6. Take one flattened dough ball and place a generous spoonful of the mushroom filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling to seal it completely, then gently flatten it again with your hands.
7. Roll out the stuffed dough ball into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter, being careful not to let the filling escape.
8. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little butter and place the rolled-out paratha on the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
9. For the spiced tomato sauce, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes and sugar, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Season with salt to taste.
10. Serve the mushroom stuffed parathas hot, drizzled with the spiced tomato sauce and garnished with fresh cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the mushrooms are finely chopped to ensure even cooking and easier stuffing.
• Allow the dough to rest; this helps make it easier to roll out.
• Use a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan for the best results when cooking the parathas.

Easy Variations

• Add spinach or kale to the mushroom filling for extra nutrients.
• Swap out mushrooms for other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
• For a cheesy twist, mix in some shredded cheese with the mushroom filling before stuffing.

What to Serve With It

• A side of yogurt or raita for a cooling contrast.
• A fresh salad with cucumbers and tomatoes.
• Pickles or chutneys for an extra punch of flavor.
