Ingredients

  • ½ cup Mango puree | pulp
  • 1 cup Whole wheat flour | atta
  • 1 tsp Red chili powder
  • ½ tsp Cumin seeds | jeera
  • 2 pinches Salt
  • Ghee as needed to make parathas

Instructions

  • Peel the skin of the mango and slice it. I used 1 small Alphonso mango. You can use any variety of mango.
  • Grind this into a fine paste, without adding any water.
  • In a wide bowl add the flour, mango puree, cumin seeds, red chili powder, and salt.
  • Knead this into a pliable soft dough, as how we make parathas.
  • I used the entire mango pulp. Add mango pulp little by little as it may differ according to the texture of the flour and also the size of the mango.
  • If you feel the dough is dry, sprinkle a few drops of milk and knead the dough.
  • Divide the dough into equal big lemon-sized balls. Gently dust it on the plain flour| atta.
  • Roll it into thick parathas. I used the sharp lid of a box to make it into an even round-sized parathas.
  • Heat a tawa and place the paratha on the tawa.
  • Cook on both sides add a little ghee and take it out from the pan.
  • Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the dough.
  • Serve with any raitha or with any spicy gravy too.

Notes

Notes:
1. You can add a little more red chili powder if you want this more spicy, than the dominating sweetness of the mango.
2. These parathas didn't taste too sweet but were good with a flavor of mangoes.
3. A pinch of chaat masala is added to the dough for a variation.
4. If you want it a little extra sweet, add 1 tbsp of sugar while grinding the mango.
5. Cumin seeds can be replaced with cumin powder.
6. Mango parathas pair well with any raita.
