Parathas are delicious to eat and some parathas are even easy to prepare. Although the general notion about paratha-making is, it is very time consuming. But not this paneer paratha, nuh huh! The paneer stuffing for paneer paratha is easy to make. It’s a matter of then rolling out the parathas and serving them.
To make life easier I generally knead whole wheat dough earlier and set it aside for gluten formation. Just before making parathas I prepare the stuffing in 5 minutes and roll out soft fresh parathas. Mouth-watering indeed, isn’t it? There are many ways of rolling out parathas, I have shown the sandwich method of making parathas here. ... “Paneer Paratha | Paratha Recipes | Breakfast Recipes”

Ragi or finger millet is such an underrated grain. In Southern parts of Karnataka, Mandya, Mysore and to certain extent Bangalore ragi is grown and used extensively. It is so light on the stomach and gives your strength. It’s farmer’s food, gives them the essential nutrients and keeps them full while they are working away in the field. Hittu or ragi mudde (ragi ball) is a very famous dish made in Karnataka. Ragi roti is another one, thin and mildly spiced rotis made from ragi.
Ragi roti is generally eaten with chutney pudi or chutney, a few onion slices and some yogurt. What a combination, simple dish for a simple living! Grated coconut added to the ragi roti makes them soft and retains good moisture. Sometimes I find making roti is simpler than making chapathi because you don’t need to roll the rotis with a belan (lattanige/rolling pin). ... “Ragi Roti | Karnataka Style Ragi Rotti | Roti Recipes”

So these grated tomatoes add a new kind of texture to soft tomato paratha. I have used this technique to make super tasty red tomato paratha.
However, tomatoes should be firm and just ripe to be able to grate them. Of course, they should also be fresh. Nothing stops us from pureeing the tomatoes in a blender. That would work well too. ... “Tomato Paratha | How to make tomato paratha?”
