Multigrain parathas – parathas made using six different flours.
Parathas are my all time favourite food. I keep experimenting with different flours and different fillings for my parathas. The best thing about parathas is that they can be served with plain curds and pickle and do not call for any other accompaniment. Multigrain parathas is made using six different flour – wheat, bajra, jowar, nachni, maize and chana. I have paired these parathas with dal makhni. But , they taste great even with plain curds and pickle. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
½ cup wheat flour (gehu ka atta)
¼ cup finger millet flour (nachni/ ragi flour)
¼ cup sorghum flour (jowar)
