Chef Dhiraj Pokale has shared all the steps to follow to make drumstick paratha at home. It is quite a simple process and can be cooked quite easily.
- Wash drumsticks, cut them into small pieces, and boil them for some time in a pressure cooker.
- Once the pieces are boiled well, take a masher and mash the boiled veggies. Make sure you do not remove the boiled vegetable stock.
- Strain out the liquid properly and mix it once with a spoon.
- Next, add some salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, amchur powder, asafoetida (hing), ginger garlic paste, thecha, sesame, coriander leaves, wheat flour, and oil.
- Ensure you knead the flour well with all the ingredients. Knead until you get a smooth texture and the dough looks ready to be rolled on a rolling pin.
- Sprinkle some flour on the board and roll the dough balls into desired shapes. You can even add some in between and roll once again.
- In the last step, fry the paratha in a pan and relish with chutney and sauce.
