Kuttu or buckwheat flour is one of the most typically used ingredients during Sawan fasting. Turn it into soft, tasty parathas that can be paired well with curd or vrat-friendly aloo sabzi, making a simple, wholesome meal.
2 cups kuttu (buckwheat) flour 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed 2 green chillies, finely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped coriander 1 teaspoon cumin seeds ½ teaspoon sendha namak (rock salt) 2 tablespoons ghee Water, as needed
In a bowl, mix kuttu flour, mashed potatoes, green chillies, coriander, cumin and rock salt. Knead everything to make a soft dough.
Divide the dough into equal parts. Dust it lightly with dry kuttu flour and roll each part to make a medium-sized paratha.
Heat a tawa and put the rolled paratha onto it. Cook until you see light brown spots, then flip and cook from the other side.
Cook the paratha until both sides turn golden, the edges turn crisp, while staying soft and easy to fold.
Serve hot with vrat wali aloo ki sabzi or plain curd for a filling lunch or dinner.
