Amarnath flour paratha or Rajgira paratha is commonly used during Navratri fasting days in most Indian Kitchen. This is a gluten-free and vegan flatbread. Adding boiled mashed potato while making a dough with the flour, helps to make paratha or flatbread. This is very quick and easiest paratha recipe to make on fasting days or upvas. Such paratha recipe is also known as farali paratha or falahari paratha (phalahari paratha). 
There are two ways to make Amarnath flour paratha or rajgira paratha. Either you can add vegetables like carrot, pumpkin or bottle gourd (Allowed in fast (upvas)) and then make paratha, or just add a boiled mashed potato, knead and then make. You can check vegetable rajgira paratha recipe which I already posted.
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.

Amarnath Flour Paratha | Rajgira Paratha
Ingredient 4-5 Paratha
200 Gram rajgira flour
2 Medium sized boiled potato
Sendha namak (vrat ka namak)
Dry flour for dusting
Water to knead the dough
Oil or ghee (clarified butter) for cooking
Method
- First of all, boil the potato. Peel and mash. It is good to have smooth mashed potato without any chunks.
- In a mixing bowl add rajgira or Amarnath flour and salt. Add water gradually and bind everything together to make a dough. Rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a griddle on medium flame. And divide the dough into equal portions. I made 5 parathas with this.
- 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.
- Transfer it to heated griddle. After a few seconds flip on another side.
- Apply oil or ghee on both sides and cook until golden brown. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough ball.
- Quick and fastest rajgira paratha or Amarnath flour paratha is ready to serve on your fasting day.
Note
- Be careful while adding water.
- This flour dough is very soft in texture. Do not apply pressure. Just roll gently.
- Use ghee instead of oil.
