Papad paratha- Indian flat bread stuffed with Indian poppadom
Papad Paratha- In India we make numerous types of paratha’s on regular basis. Paratha’s are made mainly with either wheat flour or refined flour . But multigrain flour,gram flour, ragi flour, bajra, maaki and many other flours are also used seasonally.
Paratha’s are made either plain or stuffed .During winter stuffed paratha’s are the preferred one .These papad paratha’s are the specially from the state of Rajasthan. as vegetable was not that easily available in Rajasthan so they make use of gram flour and papad to make stuffed paratha’s and in curries.
The papad is either roasted or deep fried is crushed and then some spices and fresh herbs are added in the stuffing. the papapd paratha taste so delicious with some curd,pickle and aloo ki sabzi. it is also good to pack in lunch boxes and as a travel food.
