Double Decker Parathas

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,

I am here after long time. This time it is for our blogger friend veena of veg junction. She is on with her first event and is very much enthusiastic about this. All the best to her.

Today's recipe is from my favorite breakfast.. Parathas... I love parathas. And when I got the recipe in Tarla Dalalji's website, I could not wait to try it.. Even though its a very common dish, the way she made is kid's friendly and my younger daughter loved it very much. 

I just took a basic recipe from her and modified according to my taste.

I followed the recipe from here. She says its good for diabetes. 

She has used the ready cooked chapatis but I prepared fresh(half baked, check the recipe below).

Thats the only difference.

Its little time consuming but tastes great with fresh chapatis

Recipe is copied and pasted from Tarlaji's post with some editing.

How to proceed

to make one double decker paratha

roll out three medium size chapatis.

Heat tawa and bake two only one side and one fully(this one is for the center part)

1. Spread 1 tablespoon of the carrot stuffing on one side cooked chapati, make sure to keep the uncooked  side outside.and cover with cooked  chapatti. Then spread 1 tablespoon of the green peas stuffing, place another uncooked chapatti(again uncooked side on the upper side) on the top and press firmly to seal the edges.

1. Cook the double decker parathas on a tava (griddle) on both sides, using a little oil.
2. Repeat with the remaining atta and the stuffing to make more parathas.
3. Serve hot with pickle or sauce or curds.

This is the mini size paratha which my younger daughter loved to have.
