    Adding boiled mashed potato while making a dough with the flour, helps to make paratha or flatbread.

    Since this flour is gluten-free it is really tricky while rolling paratha. Due to its crumbly nature, you will not get smooth edges while rolling.

    Why you will love this recipe

    This is a very quick and easiest paratha recipe to make on fasting days or upvas. Such a paratha recipe is also known as farali paratha or falahari paratha (phalahari paratha).

    This falahari Amarnath flour paratha is

    • Very healthy & nutritious
    • Easy to make
    • Quick preparation
    • Filling and perfect for fasting days

    Though Amarnath flour is not restricted to only fasting days, you can make Amarnath flour paratha any time in regular meals. Just add boiled mashed potato with cumin seeds and salt.

    Ingredients

    This phalahari paratha is super easy to make with just two ingredients when you have less time in hand.

    Please check RECIPE CARD for detailed ingredients list with accurate measurement.

    • Amarnath flour- We used amarnath or rajgira flour to make this farali recipe.
    • Boiled potato- being gluten-free, this flour is not easy to handle. Boiled potato helps in binding the flour nicely.
    • Oil or ghee- Ghee is always best to use during festival time. But feel free to use vegetable oil as well. Check how to make homemade ghee.
    • Other ingredients- Dry flour while rolling out parathas, rock salt, and water to knead the dough.

    How to make Amarnath flour paratha

    Let see how to make this Amarnath flour paratha, step by step.

    1. First of all, boil the potato. Peel and mash. It is good to have smooth mashed potatoes without any chunks.
    2. In a mixing bowl add Amarnath flour and salt. Add water gradually and bind everything together to make a dough. Rest for 10-15 minutes.
    3. Heat a griddle on medium flame. And divide the dough into equal portions. I made 5 parathas with this.
    4. Dust the rolling surface and gently roll. You do not have to put pressure. It is very crumbly and soft dough to handle. Just seal and keep rolling up to 5" circle. Use parchment paper to roll paratha if on the rolling surface it is difficult.
    5. Transfer it to a heated griddle. After a few seconds flip on another side.
    6. Apply oil or ghee on both sides and cook until golden brown. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough ball.
    7. Quick and fastest Amarnath flour paratha is ready to serve on your fasting day.

    Serving suggestions

    Serve this yummy stuffed amarnath flour paratha with potato raita, or carrot raita, vrat ki chutneys, or masala chaas, or lauki ka raita.

    It goes very well with vrat ki sabji like vrat ke aloo, pumpkin sabji.

    Storing suggestions

    Amarnath paratha is best when serving fresh and hot. Keeping it for longer makes it dry.

    You can always mix everything in the flour and make a soft dough. Store it in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge.

    Tips & FAQ's

    1. Be careful while adding water. If too much water added the add some extra flour to make it a dough.
    2. This flour dough is very soft in texture. Do not apply pressure. Just roll gently.
    3. Use ghee instead of oil.
    What is Amarnath flour?

    Amarnath flour or rajgira flour is prepared by grinding amarnath seeds. It is a gluten-free flour with a unique aroma. It has earthy flavour.

    What can you make with Rajgira flour?

    You can make a variety of recipes using rajgira flour for example rajgira french fries, farali kothimbir vadi & Rajgira vegetable paratha.

    Is Amarnath flour healthy?

    This is a gluten-free, fiber-rich & loaded with micro-nutrients. Being a fiber-rich food if keeps you fuller for longer and helps in weight loss as well.

      I made Rajgira poori some time back and loved it. The Rajgira paratha is a great option to try for Vrat. I love the rustic looks of the paratha.
