Rajma parathas (Kidney bean stuffed Bread)

I have earlier posted  a starter made with Rajma. Rajma or Kidney beans are very nutritious, rich in protein and minerals  and maybe that’s the reason I decided to post it again with a variation

The preparation for this lies in cooking the rajma in a pressure cooker till it is soft.

The rest of the recipe proceeds similar to Alu Parathas.

Ingredients

Potatoes – Boiled and mashed – 3-4 medium

Rajma cooked- 1cup

Coriander leaves- chopped- 4 tblespoons

Garam masala-1/2 tsp

Dhana-jeera powder- 1tsp

Turmeric – ½ tsp

Chilli powder- 1 tsp

Ajwain- ½ tsp

Salt to taste

Oil to cook the Parathas.

Atta – 2 cups

Water to knead the dough

Method

To begin , knead a soft dough of the Parathas  as we normally do with rotis/ Chapatis. Cover with a wet cloth and set aside.

We would prepare the mash that would be stuffed inside these parathas . Mix together Potatoes, Rajma, all the spices, salt, coriander leaves and ajwain and prepare the stuffing.

Roll out the dough into a 4” round and stuff the mixture in to it. Cover it from all sides dust with flour and again out into a thick Paratha. Cook on a hot tawa with oil or ghee till the paratha is cooked well.

Repeat with the rest of the dough.

I prepared a vegetable with some cooked Rajma that I had, Spread on top of some buttered slices of bread, sprinkled some cheese and served as an evening snack for my family. It turned out like instant mini pizzas and was enjoyed thoroughly.
