Yes seems I am not done with the pumpkin dishes just yet and is raining pumpkin around here, that was one big pumpkin,DD2 did good at the pumpkin patch :) Half turned into
delicious halwa, the other half landed in the fridge. Parathas seemed like a great way to use them easy but for the grating, it is a great exercise while watching TV the more boring the show the more vigorous the grating gets. These pumpkins I know are not grown with cooking in mind, they are hollow inside and the flesh stringy and not very sutiable for curries or stir frys. But since the texture didn't seem to matter for the Halwa or the parathas they morphed into delicious dishes.
Ingredients1. 1 1/2 Cups grated Pumpkin
2. 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
3. 2 tsp red chili powder
4. salt to taste.
Method1. Combine all the ingredients amd make a pliable dough, add a little bit more
wheat flour if too moist. I did not squeeze the liquid out of the grated pumpkin.
2. Make small round balls, press and fry them.
Serve hot with curry of choice, family enjoyed with some Almond Chicken.
Rolling parathas, don't come as naturally as a dosai but no worries, our blog friends come to the rescue.
Variations1.
Asha's version of Radish parathas2.
Musical has another neat way, stuffed parathas.
wow never made pumpkin paratha! very nice recipe thx
ReplyDeleteThese are the best! Yay! Love it, love it, love it!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I have lots of pumpkin too, and I love pumpkin breads.
ReplyDeletethank you, dear genius. i have lots of pumpkin to deal with. lazy me will probably stuff it in bread, though, 'cos no rolling's required.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool...pumpkin parathas... who would've thought! :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, for me it will be, the more interesting the tv show, more vigorous the grating... If I am really into a show, I can do repetitive motions without even thinking about it! :)
You should have given this recipe before, ISG. I was just struggling to finish off one bigggg pumpkin. But this is a great idea.
ReplyDeletePumpkin parathas look great too, ISG! My two pumpkins are still out on the front step till after Thanksgiving... maybe they'll morph next weekend :)
