WHY pumpkin paratha
Yellow pumpkin is a healthy vegetable that is often less popular among kids. It is rich in Nutrients and low in Calories, Great for Eye Health, Boosts Immunity, Heart Health, Promotes Healthy Skin, and Digestive health, etc. Kids-friendly spice and texture pumpkin chapati are suitable for toddlers, too. Parathas are a great, delicious tiffin option.

Can I grind pumpkin without cooking it?
For proper digestion, I would recommend cooking paratha.
Can I stuff pumpkin?
To make it toddler-friendly, I prefer cooking the pumpkin soft, then grinding, and then kneading the dough. You can also grate the pumpkin, sauté, then stuff them like paneer paratha
Tips to note for Paratha dough
Firstly, prepare a moist dough for paratha. Paratha dough should be a non-sticky, soft dough, without any cracks. If you add less water, the dough might crack. Pliable soft dough makes for the best parantha. Also, it is important to knead the dough well. The addition of ghee and oil gives a lot of difference in the pumpkin parathas texture, so don’t skip it

RESTING THE DOUGH
Resting the dough is highly recommended for the best soft paratha.
SPRINKLE FLOUR AND ROLL PARATHA
Since our dough is soft and pliable, sprinkle a generous amount of flour and roll the paratha.
OPTIMAL HEAT FOR COOKING PARATHA?
When you are cooking paratha, maintaining the heat from low to medium is the key. Add ghee and cook the paratha. Press it gently with a spatula often so that it is evenly cooked.
SHOULD I USE GHEE WHILE MAKING pumpkin roti?
You can use any cooking oil, but ghee gives a nice aroma and makes the chappati super tasty.
CAN I MAKE THE paratha SPICY?
It is totally according to your tastes. To make it suitable for my toddler, I make it less spicy. You can add extra chilli powder or add coriander powder, cumin powder, gram masala
