No-fuss Tiffin Idea: “Ulta Paratha” Using Methi Paratha Mix

School bells are ringing again, and so are our morning alarms. As parents, we are always on the lookout for healthy, kid-approved tiffin ideas that are also easy to prepare during hectic mornings. That’s where Taste for Life's amazing ready mixes come to the rescue, especially Methi Paratha Mix. It is crafted with whole wheat flour, methi leaves, and a perfect blend of spices. 

Using this readymix, we can create delicious “Ulta Parathas” – A twist on the classic paratha recipe. 

Generally, when aloo parathas or stuffed parathas are prepared, we include all the spices and vegetables in the stuffing. However, the outer covering is made with whole wheat flour dough. 

But here we are doing exactly ulta. The stuffing remains mild and simple, while the dough adds taste and flavor. 

Here are the step-by-step instructions:  

Ingredients you'll need: 

For dough:

Taste for Life’s Methi Paratha Mix
Water for kneading 

For Stuffing:

Grated Paneer
Boiled potatoes
Salt
Chopped green chilies 

Cooking Instructions: 

Dough preparation:

Add Taste for Life’s Methi Paratha Mix to a mixing bowl.
Gradually add water to form a soft and firm dough.
The ready mix already includes methi leaves and spices, so there is no need to add extra spices. 

Stuffing: 

Combine mashed potatoes, grated paneer, and salt.
Add chopped green chilies only if your child enjoys extra spice. 

Assembling the parathas:
Take a dough ball and roll it into small rounds.
Add a spoonful of stuffing, gather the edges, and seal them properly.
Gently roll the parathas.

Roasting:
Heat the tawa on a medium heat flame.
Roast the parathas with ghee until they turn golden brown on both sides.

Serving suggestions: 

Pair these delicious Ulta parathas with curd or pudina-coriander chutney for an added flavor.

They also taste amazing with mango pickles.

Note: Each Taste for Life’s Methi Paratha Mix pack makes eight tasty parathas. So, you can adjust the amount needed for stuffing accordingly.
