Ingredients
- Wheat Flour – 1 cup
- Salt – ¼ tsp
- Oil – 1 tsp
- Water for kneading the dough
Filling:
- Grated coconut – 1 cup
- Powdered sugar – ¼ cup
- Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
- Rice Flakes/Poha – 1 tbsp, grind to powder
- Mixed nuts – 2 tbsp, almonds, cashewnuts and walnuts
- Oil – 1 to 1 ½ tbsp for cooking the parathas
Instructions
- For this sweet paratha with coconut stuffing, take 1 cup of atta. Sieve it. Add a pinch of salt, and a teaspoon of oil. Knead well into a soft dough with a little water. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Grate the coconut and powder the sugar. Grind the poha to a fine powder. Poha is added to ensure moisture doesn’t seep out when coconut is mixed with sugar. Grind the mixed nuts coarsely.
- For the filling mix grated coconut, powdered sugar, cardamom powder, rice flakes powder and powdered dry fruits together and keep aside.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll out the balls of dough into about 3 inch diameter discs.
- Place about 3 tbsp of the filling in the centre of the rolled out paratha. (Ideally the stuffing should be a tad more than the dough portion). Pull the edges of the rolled dough together and seal. Dust with flour and gently roll out into slightly thick parathas.
- Heat a pan and place the rolled out paratha on it. Let it cook on medium heat and then flip it over. Drizzle 1/2 tsp of oil over it and along the edges. Once brown spots appear on both sides, remove from pan.
- Serve Kobbari Paratha hot for breakfast or as a snack.
