Rajgira Paratha Recipe | How To Make Farali Paratha
Rajgira paratha is prepared during Navratri fasting days. It is one of the common ingredients used during vrat or fasting days.
Prepare recipes like rajgira french fries, farali kothimbir vadi & Rajgira vegetable paratha on fasting days and enjoy.
Rajgira is also known as Amarnath flour, it is gluten-free flour so rolling these parathas is a bit tricky.
In the last Navratri(2017), I and my neighbor Shikha had so much fun during all nine days of fasting. We both cooked so many fasting recipes every day and exchanged.
Sometimes we had them together with an awesome spread of recipes on the table. As I am reminding my days with her I am smiling and my mouth-watering.
Mixing vegetables(like sweet potato puree, mashed potato, grated carrot, or pumpkin puree) makes it easier to roll and make yummy parathas during fasting days.
It is gluten-free flour. In Navratri usually, food is cooked in ghee or clarified butter. But you can use oil as well.
Grated vegetables and boiled potato help to bind the dough and helps to roll them easily.

How to make Rajgira paratha with vegetables
Let see how to make this gluten-free, falahari or farali rajgira paratha during Navratri fasting days.
- Peel and grate carrot and radish. NOTE– Do not take out their water.
- Mash boiled potato.
- Take a large mixing bowl and add rajgira flour, grated carrot, boil potato radish, cumin seed, chopped coriander, ginger, oil, and salt as per taste. Mix well with your hands.
- Do not add water at this stage. First, combine nicely as carrot and radish leave the water as soon as they come in contact with salt. NOTE- I did not require any extra water while mixing this. In case if you need, add spoon by spoon a little water. Make a soft dough.
- Now divide the dough into equal parts and start rolling them gently. Dust with dry flour from time to time. Do not worry if paratha breaks from sides. Seal it and roll again with the help of dry flour.
- Heat a tava or skillet and place the rolled paratha on it. Cook in medium heat. Keep flipping till it gets brown color on both sides. Apply little oil on both sides and cook.
- Once both sides cooked properly take it on the paper towel. Repeat the same process with the rest of the dough ball.
- Serve hot with curd or falahari sabji.
Serving sugestions
Serve this yummy stuffed rajgira flour paratha with potato raita, or carrot raita, vrat ki chutneys, or masala chaas, or lauki ka raita.
It goes very well with farali sabji like vrat ke aloo, pumpkin sabji.
Storing suggestions
Rajgira vegetable paratha is best when serving fresh and hot. Keeping it for longer makes it dry and crumbly texture.
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
- Avoid chili if you are not allowed to eat in fasting.
- Avoid grated ginger too if not allowed.
- Be careful while adding water. In case of runny dough, add extra flour and then continue with the kneading process.
- This flour dough is very soft in texture. Do not apply pressure. Just roll gently.
- Use ghee instead of oil.
Rajgira flour is highly nutritious. It is rich in calcium, iron and amino acids. It contain fiber as well which makes you full and helps in digestion.
This works well while you are trying to loose weight as it helps.
Rajgira flour is made of amarnath plan’s seeds. Grinding them result in rajgira flour.
Both the flours are consumed during fasting days in India. Both are gluten-free flour but they are different in terms of texture, aroma, and flour qualities.
