Instructions
1
To begin making Stuffed Arbi Paratha steps, we will make the paratha pastry mix.
2
In a large dish toss in in 2 cups of whole wheat baking flour and some seasoning.Use your fingers and agitate in the seasoning into the baking flour.
3
toss in little moisture at a time and massage to make soft, pliable paratha pastry mix.
4
massage paratha pastry mix for a couple of moments until the pastry mix is seamless and elastic.
5
Use the fold press and massage motion to make the pastry mix seamless.Next toss in a teaspoon of cooking oil to coat the paratha pastry mix and massage little more.
6
You want a paratha pastry mix that will be soft seamless and not sticky.
7
Divide the pastry mix into 8 to 10 equal portions.
8
lid the pastry mix and allow the pastry mix to rest until you get the filling ready.Pressure make arbi with 1 cup moisture and seasoning for around 4 whistle and switch off the fiery up.Once it is pressure cooked, allow the pressure to release naturally and skin the skin.Mash the arbi into a coarse lumpy texture with your fingers or a fork.
9
Once mashed, toss in in the finely minced green chillies, lots of freshly minced coriander leaves, seasoning to salty profile, half teaspoon of cumin ground mix, half a teaspoon of coriander ground mix, a teaspoon of parched mango ground mix, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric ground mix and finally if you want it extra fiery, the red chilli ground mix.
10
Using your fingers again, combine all the fixings into the arbi until well combined.Divide the arbi filling into 8 to 10 equal portions.
11
This process of dividing and keeping the portions of arbi paratha pastry mix and filling ready, helps you gauge the number of parathas you can make and if you need more or less of the filling.The final step is to stuff the filling into the arbi paratha pastry mix.We dust the paratha pastry mix in baking flour, flatten it with your finger and place it on a flat surface.
12
Roll them out thin to approximately 3 inches in diameter circle.Take a portion of filling and place it in the center.
13
Next Gather the sides of the paratha pastry mix and bring them together.
14
Remove the little excess pastry mix which popped out when you brought them together.
15
Press the filled arbi paratha pastry mix down.Dust the filled arbi paratha pastry mix in some baking flour and roll it gently applying just a pressure.
16
Roll it to desired thickness and proceed the similar way with the remaining portions of paratha pastry mix and filling.Preheat a skillet on medium fiery up and place the filled arbi paratha.
17
Allow it to make on medium fiery up for about 30 to 45 seconds and flip over.toss in this stage toss in a teaspoon of ghee or cooking oil and spread it around.
18
Flip again, so the oiled side can make on the skillet.
19
Spread a little more ghee and keep pressing the parathas while on the skillet to make the paratha evenly from inside out.Do the flipping over process a couple of times until both sides get cooked, browned and crisp evenly.
20
Make sure you make on medium fiery up as it allows the arbi parathas to get a crisp on the outside and yet soft texture.Once the arbi paratha is cooked transfer to a plate.
