__Stuffings for Parantha Breads

Print this Recipe

Paranthas can essentially be stuffed with any and every moisture-free, dry-cooked potato, lentil, paneer cheese, or meat dish. Any moisture will make it harder to stuff and roll the paranthas. As you roll them, the dough shell will absorb the moisture and split in various places, so be sure your filling is dry.

In spite of this, some juicy vegetables, such as cauliflower and daikon radishes, are very popular as stuffings. When using them, keep in mind that salt draws out natural juices, so add salt to individual paranthas as you roll them or first salt the grated vegetable before cooking, allowing the vegetable to sweat. Then squeeze out the juices, and if they are still moist, mix in some dry flour.

Here, then, are some popular parantha stuffings. These stuffings can also be used in all types of stuffed breads mentioned in this chapter (such as deep poories, baked kulchas, and grilled naans), and also in Indian snacks such as samosas (stuffed triangular pasties).

When you've prepared each of these fillings, proceed with the directions for Basic Stuffed Griddle-Fried Breads (see Breads and Crepes).
