Mangodi ki Sabzi Paratha Recipe - North Indian Breakfast | CraftMyMeals

Instructions

1
Fry the Mangodi
- Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat.
- Add the moong dal mangodi and shallow-fry, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes until they turn a deep golden brown and become aromatic.
- Remove the fried mangodi with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
2
Prepare the Masala Base
- In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
- Add the hing, followed immediately by the finely chopped onion.
- Sauté the onions for 5-6 minutes until they are soft, translucent, and lightly browned at the edges.
- Add the ginger paste, garlic paste, and slit green chilies. Cook for 1 minute until the raw aroma disappears.
3
Cook the Gravy
- Add the tomato puree to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and you see ghee separating from the masala.
- Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.
4
Incorporate the Yogurt
- Reduce the heat to the absolute lowest setting. This is crucial to prevent the curd from splitting.
- Add the well-whisked curd to the pan. Immediately start stirring continuously in one direction for 2-3 minutes.
- Continue stirring until the curd is fully incorporated and the gravy comes to a gentle simmer. Do not stop stirring during this process.
5
Simmer the Curry
- Pour in 2.5 cups of hot water and add salt. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the gravy to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add the fried mangodi to the gravy.
- Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mangodi are soft and have absorbed the flavors. Check by pressing one with a spoon; it should break easily.
6
Finish and Serve
- Once the mangodi is cooked, turn off the heat. Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and stir gently.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
- Let the sabzi rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with bajra roti, phulka, or steamed rice.

Ingredients

2 cup Atta
1 tsp Salt
0.25 cup Ghee (melted, for layering and frying)
1 cup Water (lukewarm, adjust as needed)

Instructions

1
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of atta and 1 tsp of salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add lukewarm water while mixing with your fingers. Start with 3/4 cup and add more tablespoon by tablespoon as needed.
- Knead for 8-10 minutes to form a soft, smooth, and pliable dough. It should not be sticky. The ideal consistency is soft to the touch, similar to an earlobe.
- Add 1 tsp of ghee and knead for another minute to make the dough smooth.
2
Rest the Dough
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth or a lid and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the gluten to relax, making the parathas softer and easier to roll.
3
Divide and Shape
- After resting, knead the dough gently for 30 seconds.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball between your palms.
4
Create the Layers (Triangle Fold)
- Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Dust it with dry atta.
- Roll it into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Spread about 1/4 tsp of melted ghee evenly over the surface.
- Fold the circle in half to create a semi-circle. Apply a little more ghee on the top surface of the semi-circle.
- Fold it in half again to form a triangle.
- Gently press the triangle and dust it with dry atta.
5
Roll the Paratha
- Place the layered triangle on a rolling board. Roll it out gently and evenly into a larger triangle, about 6-7 inches in length on each side. Don't press too hard, as this can cause the layers to merge.
6
Cook the Paratha
- Heat a tawa (flat griddle) over medium-high heat. The tawa should be hot but not smoking.
- Carefully place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa. Cook for about 30-40 seconds, or until you see small bubbles appear on the surface.
- Flip the paratha. Cook the other side for about 1 minute, until light golden-brown spots appear.
- Spread about 1/2 tsp of ghee on the top surface and flip it again.
- Gently press the paratha with a flat spatula, especially around the edges, to encourage it to puff up. Cook for 30-40 seconds until this side is golden brown and crisp.
- Apply ghee to the other side, flip, and cook for another 20-30 seconds.
- Remove from the tawa and repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
7
Serve
- Serve the hot, flaky parathas immediately with your favorite curry, dal, yogurt, or pickle.
