LEFTOVER AALOO RAGDAA METHI PARATHA (Savoury Indian Flatbread)

Leftover Aaloo Ragda Methi Paratha is a flatbread made using leftover vegetables. Parathas originated in North India and today are made almost in all regions. Paratha is a flatbread made using flour and spices, combined with vegetables of choice.

In this recipe I have used some boiled potatoes, cooked dry white peas (ragda) which were leftover from the earlier day’s chaat and have combined it with some fenugreek leaves which too were leftover after making muthiyas for Surti Undhiyu.

Fenugreek and potatoes is a classic combination, and shouldn’t be avoided and a little extra than what is mentioned in the recipe surely won’t do any harm! Hence if you do not have fresh fenugreek, do use kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves).

If at all there is some leftover daal, it too can be thickened and used in this paratha instead of the ragda. Again you can always freeze the extra parathas just as I did and use them within a few days and you are good to go!
