It is a paratha which is folded with ricotta cheese which is called paneer in common..It is not a stuffing type of paratha so easy to make really..I love to experiment different paratha recipes with different stuffing and blendings.I used store bought paneer but you can use fresh home made paneer too..

Tomato coriander leaves masala roti/Tomato cilantro spiced paratha/Easy indian dinner recipes/South indian easy and healthy recipes/indian flat bread recipes/Step by step pictures/Tomato health benefits

Hi every one.How are you all doing..I have few recipes to post in draft which also have step wise pictures.But,due to the busy schedule,Iam not able to spend much time with blog.Also,low strength net connection is not encouraging me to work on it..Up to 1 pm kids keeping me busy and after they went to school,clock is running so fast.Within few hours it showing 6 pm and kids are standing in front of me.Again Iam engaged with them and finally bed time is calling along with kids.Not only me,It happens in every home and it is the natural life of women who sacrifices the life for family.Hats off to all those great ladies.

Coming to the recipe,It is a simple recipe which was suddenly created by me in my little kitchen.I have one chopped tomato in a bowl in fridge.Also,I chopped some cilantro leaves to use in rasam and curry.But Few was remained and by using those two I prepared this roti along with common spices..Instead of plain roti/pulka/paratha you can try this for a variation.Those kids who avoids tomatoes or cilantro leaves will enjoy this version.But You should serve this rotis immediately after cooking other wise tastes poor/low.You can serve this rotis with gravies,chutneys,pickles and raitas.Most of the time I prefer thick yogurt and mango pickle.It`s really a wonderful combination.Iam sure you all wil love this if you tried and tasted. Go ahead with recipe by following method and let me know about your result.

CATEGORY-ROTIS/SIMPLE BREAK FAST/HEALTHY DINNER IDEAS
PREPARATION TIME- 10 MINUTES
COOKING TIME-20 MINUTES

WHAT YOU NEED

 Wheat flour-1 1/2 cups

salt

ripen tomato-1 big

cilantro leaves fresh/chopped-1/2 cup loosely packed

red chili powder-(to taste)

garam masala-1 tsp

cumin-1 tsp

hing-2-3 pinches

ginger garlic paste(GGP)-1/2 tbsp

coriander powder-1 tsp

oil-for pan fry

HOW TO COOK

Take chopped cilantro,tomato and all other ingredients in mixy jar except oil.

Blend into puree.Take flour in a bowl/besan. add above ground mix and oil(I use sunflower oil)-1 tbsp to this flour.

Mix well with fingers and knead it like dough.You no need any extra water to knead,but if necessary add 1-2 tablespoons.But be careful while adding.Other wise it turns mushy and then you may need some more extra flour.

Now keep aside this for 10 minutes and then start rolling.

Divide dough into equal size balls and using extra flour roll well.

Heat a wide pan and put this rolled roti on it.Using some oil pan fry both sides well.

Do the same process with all the remaining rotis and serve hot with raita and pickle.

MAHAS NOTES

You can use green chili instead of red chili powder.

You can replace cumin seeds with  cumin powder.

Can skip garam masala and hing if you don`t like.But they gives taste and flavor.

You can also avoid GGP.It`s a common ingredient which I use often in my cooking.

If you are creative try this with mint leaves instead of adding cilantro and let me know.

I gave flour measurement approximately.If you feel it is too less after adding ground tomato mix add 1/2 more cup of flour and start kneading.

TOMATO HEALTH BENEFITS:

CHETTINAD CHICKEN MASALA GRAVY/CREAMY OATS ROTIS/Mahas OWN RECIPES

Are you in search for a hot and spicy CHICKEN Recipe..Then here it is..Very perfect dish which well goes in the lunch,dinner(with rotis) and for parties.....This is the first attempt of mine and it came out very well..Iam not much familiar to chettinad cuisine..But I heard about their food and taste.When I searched for the recipe got so many links but every recipe is slightly different with each other..I thought Youtube is the best option then went through the link..I skipped few Ings and according to my taste cooked this recipe...Because of using more dry red chilli and pepper corns dish may looks little bit brown in colour. But the taste was simply awesome.But check before the spice level before you proceed..It is very spicy...I cooked this around 6 pm I think..Well,After looking the result of the gravy immediately planned to roll some rotis..Chapathi is very common food in my home which goes in dinner times..For a variation I added oats and cream and rolled out into rotis..

Cooking by measuring is very difficult I feel.Measuring for each and every one ingredient is quite tough job for me..Of..course!!To Introduce a tasty recipe It is must..After choosing the Ingredients for the recipe took out cups and each one I measured using cups.Believe me.While making dough I was really in tense little bit about the result.Thank god.My Idea worked out well.Rotis came out well and tasted very good..But don`t roll too thin..Remember this PLZ....Finally Thanks for reading completely with patience..Hope you`ll surely like/love this combination...Try next time..
