How to make kuttu ka bherwa paratha

So let see how to make this easy Navratri fasting recipe named kuttu ka paratha or bherva or kuttu paratha or stuffed buckwheat flatbread.

1. 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.
2. Now for filling add everything in another bowl and combine nicely. Adjust salt as per taste.
3. We can make three parathas with this preparation. So divide the dough into three equal portions.
4. Make a 3" circle and place 2 tsp potato carrot filling. Gently seal the corners and flatten it using your palm.
5. 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.
6. Roll into 4-5" circle and place it on a heated griddle.
7. Flip it on another side after 1-2 minutes. Apply oil or ghee both sides and cook until golden brown.
8. Kuttu paratha or bherwa kuttu ka paratha is ready to serve with curd or buttermilk or any vrat ki chutney.

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 dough add a boiled potato or arbi (colocasia).

Serving suggestions

Serve this crunchy yummy stuffed buckwheat paratha with potato raita, or carrot raita, or peach chutney, vrat ki chutneys, or masala chaas, or apple raita, lauki ka raita.

When in hurry then just plain curd or yogurt will go with this stuffed paratha. See how to make yogurt at home.

Storing suggestions

Kuttu paratha is always best to serve fresh and hot. Keeping it for longer makes it crumble and dry.

Having said so you can always mix everything in the flour and make a soft dough. Store it in airtight container for upto three days in the fridge.

Tips & FAQ's

1. You can have paneer filling as well. Instead of potato add paneer.
2. Add water gently, otherwise, the dough becomes runny.
3. Try to avoid adding sabudana flour or tapioca flour. For binding add boiled colocasia or potato. Otherwise, it is good enough to handle solely.
