LOUKI/DUDHI PARATHA


This is one vegetable , I can hardly think of making no more than 2-3 different and tasty recipes of! Well, another such easy and tasty recipe , I know of is what my mom used to make. Louki is generally referred to as  called Sorakaya/Anapakaya in telugu.

Ingredients :


Wheat flour                       2 cups
Louki                                1/4 grated
Green chillies                     2-3 finely chopped
Turmeric                            1 tsp
Red chilli powser                1 tsp
Jeera                                  2 tsp
Salt
Oil

Method :


Flame: Medium
Time:1/2 hour


  1. First, take the wheat flour in a large bowl, convenient enough to knead all the ingredients.
  2. Take a grater, and grate the louki into the bowl.
  3. Then add, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder and chopped green chillies into it.
  4. Add a teaspoon of oil .
  5. Mix and knead a dough. (Do not add water here.)
  6. After you see that the water from the louki has been completely absorbed by the flour, then if needed then add water.
  7. Keep it aside for 15 min.
  8. Take a small ball of the dough, and try :) to press the ball and make a circle :).
  9. Place it onto the frying pan and fry.

And "garama garam louki  paratha are ready!"

Note:
  1. Try not to add water into the dough unless you are finding it difficult to make a dough.
  2. Usually , the water from the louki should be enough to make a dough.
  3. You can add corriander leaves also.(I forgot to add while mixing!! :) )
  4. Add garam masala into it is optional! You can add all sorts of stuff into this to make it as spicy as you want! :)
Finally, cooking is definitely a stress buster! Happy cooking! :) :) :)
