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.
