Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls), soaked 4–5 hours or overnight
- 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed
- 2 tbsp roasted peanut powder
- 1–2 green chilies, finely chopped
- Rock salt (sendha namak), to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- Ghee or oil for cooking
Optional: Cumin seeds, grated ginger, or amchur powder for extra flavor.
Instructions
- Soak the Sabudana: Rinse sabudana until water runs clear. Soak with just enough water to cover. Leave for 4–5 hours or overnight until soft.
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, peanut powder, chilies, salt, and coriander. Mix into a soft dough. Add a spoon of arrowroot or rajgira flour if sticky.
- Shape the Paratha: Take a dough ball and place between two sheets of parchment. Gently flatten into a round disc using a rolling pin or your hands.
- Cook the Paratha: Heat a non-stick or cast-iron tawa. Cook paratha with ghee or oil until golden and crisp on both sides.
- Serve: Enjoy hot with yogurt, mint chutney, or fasting-friendly sides.
Notes
- Do not oversoak sabudana—pearls should be soft, not mushy.
- Use rock salt to keep the recipe vrat-friendly.
- Grease your hands to prevent sticking while shaping.
- Add sesame seeds for a nuttier flavor and crunch.
- Pair with yogurt or mint chutney for best results.
