Useful Tips:

You can experiment with the vegetable stuffing as your wish. This mix veg paratha recipe is very flexible and made without onion and garlic. You can easily adjust it by adding your choice of veggies.

I have added the following vegetables: cauliflower, carrot, potato, French beans, and green bell pepper or Shimla mirch. This is a good way to use leftover veggies.

Instead of adding the mix veg stuffing while rolling the parathas, they can be added directly to the dough. It will be easier to roll parathas like this. 

Make sure the tawa is properly heated before making parathas, otherwise paratha may stick to the tawa.

You can make spicy or soft according to your choice by adjusting the spices. If you are going make for kid’s lunch box, then keep it mild. You can also add a bit of sugar as I used.

Apart from the above used vegetables, you can include green leafy veggies like spinach, methi or fenugreek and pudina or mint. 

To make parathas easier while rolling, the veggies must be very dry or without moisture.  

As you have to completely dry the veggies after steaming, drain the water from veggies. But do not discard this water or vegetable stalk. This can be used while kneading the dough. You can store it in refrigerator and then used while making soups. And also added to dals.

Roast the paratha on medium to medium-high flame. Otherwise, paratha will become hard and chewy.
