bajra gajar palak paratha is a wholesome and nutritious variation of the traditional Indian flatbread, paratha. This unique recipe combines the goodness of bajra (pearl millet), gajar (carrots), and palak (spinach), resulting in a flavorful and health-packed dish.

To make bajra gajar palak paratha in a deep bowl add bajra flour, grated carrots, spinach, green chilli paste, garlic paste and salt. Knead into semi-soft dough using enough warm water. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll out each portion into a circle of 100 mm (4”) diameter, using a little bajra flour for rolling

Pro tips for bajra gajar palak paratha. 1. In a deep bowl put bajra (black millet) flour. Bajra flour has a unique nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture, which adds depth and interest to parathas. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a Vegetarian, include bajra in your diet. 2. Add grated carrot. Carrots add a natural sweetness and subtle earthiness to the paratha, balancing the bitterness of palak (spinach) and the nutty taste of bajra flour. Carrots have the nutrient Beta Carotene which is a form of Vitamin A, helps prevent deterioration of the eye as one gets older and prevents night blindness. 3. Add finely chopped spinach (palak). Spinach has a mild, earthy flavor that complements the sweetness of carrots and the slightly nutty taste of bajra flour. Spinach, baby spinach (Palak) : Spinach is one of the richest plant sources of iron and it should be part of a healthy diet for everyone. 4. Using enough warm water, make a semi soft dough. Unlike wheat flour, bajra flour doesn't contain gluten, a protein network responsible for elasticity and chew in dough. Warm water helps activate enzymes in the flour, leading to a slight increase in extensibility and making the dough easier to work with. Warm water hydrates the flour particles more effectively than cold water, resulting in a softer dough that's easier to knead and roll out without tearing.

    This gluten free recipe is super delicious. Carrot and spinach goes really well with the bajra flour. At first i was confused how would it taste, but after trying it i was totally satisfied. So i am surely going to make this recipe again.
