JAGGERY/GUD KA PARATHA/ಬೆಲ್ಲದ ಪರಾಠ

Posted in : DRAFT on by : Divya Suresh

One of the sweet and iron rich Paratha recipe from the state of Rajasthan ie..gur/gud ka paratha. I have relished on these yummy mini Parathas a numerous times, when in namma Bengaluru at our neighbor’s Place. This Paratha is made using wheat flour, jaggery, sesame seeds, dry coconut (optional) and ghee.

In Rajasthan they necessarily make this Paratha during winter. It is eaten along with or immediately after the lunch. These are made in small size and consumed for the reason it provides heat to our body from inside.

Jaggery which is rich in sucrose provides energy to our body besides being the source of iron intake. And the sesame seeds provides vitamins, calcium and it is rich in fibre, helps in lowering cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure etc etc etc besides being the power house of energy and heat, Saunf is good for digestion and here Icing on the cake is this Paratha is made using wheat flour, which is fibre rich, diabetic friendly, keep us feeling filled for long time etc etc.

So overall this paratha also acts like a medicine during winter season. This Paratha is so yummy that no one would say no to it

I have seen that the people of Punjab also make this Paratha or gud ki roti with a little different approach. They mix together the flour and the jaggery and make roti, as far as my knowledge goes they don’t use sesame seeds in this paratha.

Ingredients : measuring cup used – 200 ml , makes 4 Parathas of shown size

For the dough :
  • Whole wheat flour- 1 cup
  • Ghee – 1 tsp
  • Salt – a fat pinch
  • Water – to knead the dough
For stuffing :
  • Jaggery (grated/powdered) – 1/2 cup
  • Sesame seeds (roasted) – 3 tbsp
  • Saunf – 1 tbsp
  • Cardamom powder – 1/8 tsp
  • Grated/powdered dry coconut – 3 tbsp (optional)

PROCEDURE :

  • Gather together the flour, salt, ghee and mix everything well, knead into a soft stiff dough by adding little water at a time and divide into equal portions
  • Now in another bowl/Parath gather and combine well all the ingredients listed below the heading ‘for stuffing’ and divide into equal portions
  • Place the portion of the stuffing on a slightly flattened portion of the dough, gather and cover from all the sides and roll out into a slightly thick circle by dusting with flour
  • Roast on a heated tawa (I have made it on iron tawa) on both the sides until done by smearing little ghee/oil
  • Delicious gud ka paratha is ready in no time !
