Farali paratha or kuttu ka paratha is a traditional Indian flatbread eaten during Navratri fasting days. Kuttu, also known as buckwheat flour, is commonly used by the majority of people in India during fasting days, especially in Navratri. Bherwa kuttu ka paratha is prepared with spicy potato carrot filling in kuttu flour.
To make it real quick, simply add potato in kuttu flour (buckwheat flour) in addition to salt, green chili, and green coriander. But having potato and carrot filling makes kuttu paratha more tasty and delicious. Boiled potato mixed with grated carrot, spiced up with chopped green chili and flavored with chopped green coriander.
Important Point– Try to avoid adding arrowroot powder and tapioca flour (sabudana aata). They do help in binding but after cooking, eatable immediately should be served and consume. Otherwise, the dish becomes very very chewy if they are kept for a longer time. In case you are unable to make a dough add a boiled potato or arbi (colocasia). I did not add anything while kneading the kuttu flour.

Farali Paratha | Kuttu Ka Paratha
Ingredient 3 Paratha
For Dough
1/2 Cup kuttu flour (buckwheat flour)
1/4 Tsp cumin seed powder
1/2 Tsp sendha namak or rock salt
1Tblsp+1/4 Cup water to knead
For Filling
1 Medium size boiled potato
3 Tblsp grated carrot
1 Green chili finely chopped
1/2 Tsp grated ginger
A handful chopped green coriander
1/2 Tsp cumin seed powder
Salt as per taste
Oil for cooking
Method
- First of all, take everything listed under the dough and make a soft dough. Add water slowly otherwise, the dough becomes runny. Do not keep this dough for long. Kuttu flour becomes watery with time.
- Now for filling add everything in another bowl and combine nicely. Adjust salt as per taste.
- We can make three parathas with this preparation. So divide the dough into three equal portions.
- Make a 3″ circle and place 2 tsp potato carrot filling. Gently seal the corners and flatten it using your palm.
- Dust it with dry kuttu flour and gently roll down. It is very soft, so a little pressure is enough to flatten the dough ball.
- Roll into 4-5″ circle and place it on heated griddle.
- Flip it on another side after 1-2 minutes. Apply oil or ghee both sides and cook until golden brown.
- Kuttu paratha or bherwa kuttu ka paratha is ready to serve with curd or buttermilk or any vrat ki chutney.
Note
- You can have paneer filling as well. Instead of potato add paneer.
- Add water gently, otherwise, the dough becomes runny.
- Try to avoid adding sabudana flour or tapioca flour. For binding add boiled colocasia or potato. Otherwise, it is good enough to handle solely.

This recipe looks so healthy and tasty.. perfect for navratri days… Great pick with F
Thanks Preeti for liking this vrat ka paratha.
That is such a filling paratha and love the idea of the potato stuffing. That should give it so much more flavor and also make it filling.
Oh fantastic that you have made a stuffed paratha in the farali series..very nicely done. I am sure these parathas taste out of the world!
I make plain kuttu paratha. This one with the filling looks so colorful and makes it extra delicious and healthy.Nice pics.
Would love to have this delicious and healthy paratha after my fast, such a healthy treat.
Working with kuttu atta dough as it is, is quite difficult and you stuff it… that’s awesome. Love the beautiful colour of the paratha, good share for letter F.
Wow , that sure is a treat while fasting ! Stuffed kuttu paratha must be tough to make , making a basic one itself is a task , right ? You have made amazing parathas , must give them a try even though I am
Not into fasting .
Wow, stuffed farali paratha looks just prefect to please some hungry tummies quickly. Extremely irresistible and nutritious paratha to have with some pickles without any fuss..
Wow! Kuttu paratha without any binding agent? Sounds very daring. But the results look just amazing.
Making a gf roti itself is tough. Kudos to you for attempting it with a filling. The paratha with that delicious colourful filling looks absolutely yum..
That’s a drool worthy paratha! Looks so inviting….now all I need is an excuse to fast!
I generally put potatoes or other veggies in the dough itself, but stuffed paratha surely is a tastier option and these parathas are looking so good. Will try stuffed paratha this navratri 🙂
