    Carrot Paratha was something that Amma had made for Konda during my SFO trip. I had asked Konda to decide on a menu for her lunch during my absence so that lunch packing gets easy and stress-free for Athamma or Amma, whoever was planning to make it.

    When I came back both of them were telling me of this carrot paratha that Amma had made for Konda's lunch. It came during discussion one too many times. Still, I never came around to making it. Finally, today though it was a Saturday they were working because of the Children's Day celebration. So I had to plan for both snacks and lunch.

    Boys also had their sports day celebrations. Chinnu won first place in the running race, while Peddu was part of the Relay team. Apart from these Chinnu was in the Bunny March. We were so upset that we couldn't send Peddu for March as he is still weak. But we all went for the program. Both the boys were given their medals, which they wore throughout the whole day.

    So in all that hurry, I managed to make these Carrot parathas for Konda's lunch. Amma told me that the grated carrots have to be sauteed before mixing in the flour.

    Let's see how these are made!

    Grate the carrots, heat a pan with 1 tsp oil, saute cumin seeds, carrot, coriander leaves

    Saute few minutes along with Salt to taste, Chilli powder and garam masala

    Mix the masala to the flour

    Knead into a soft dough using little water as required.

    Dust well and roll out into a big paratha. Cut out using the mold you have into small parathas.

    Heat a pan, grease with oil. Cook these on both sides.

    Cook as many as your kids eat, allow them to get cool if the lunch is going to be cold.

    Pack it right away. This stays very good till evening, I haven't tried beyond that. You don't require a side dish along with this if you are serving to kids.

    Ingredients Needed:

    Wheat Flour - 1 cup
    Salt to taste
    Water for kneading

    For Masala

    Carrots, grated - 1 long
    Coriander leaves handful
    Salt to taste
    Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
    Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
    Oil - 1 tsp

    Method to prepare:

    Grate the carrots, chop the coriander leaves.
    Heat a pan with 1 tsp oil, add the cumin seeds. Then add the grated carrots, coriander leaves along with chili powder, salt, and garam masala.
    Saute for few minutes until the carrots gets cooked.
    In a wide bowl, take the flour, add salt and the masala. Mix well.
    Slowly add the water to knead into a soft dough.
    Dust with flour and roll out into a big paratha. Cut out into small parathas.
    Heat a tawa, grease with oil. Cook the parathas on both sides.
    Pack the parathas for the kid's lunch.
