But, transforming the same leftover  food   into something interesting and delicious, by adding some basic ingredients  that can be enjoyed/relished by all and is different.  So here I have combined the leftover rice with whole wheat flour, spices and made a chatpata and delicious paratha out of it for a wholesome breakfast or main course meal.

2 Cups Leftover Boiled Rice 

1½ Cups Whole Wheat Flour 
½ Teaspoon Red Chilly Powder

½ Teaspoon Salt 
½ Teaspoon Chat Masala 
1 Tablespoon Coriander Leaves

For Frying 
Oil + ghee - as required

Method

Reheat the rice in the microwave by sprinkling some water over it for 2 minutes on high power.
In a large bowl take the leftover rice , wheat flour and mash it it well as you are combining both. Now add in rest of the ingredients and knead a soft dough add just little water for kneading to make a soft dough. Cover the dough with damp cloth and rest it for 10-15 minutes.

Make small balls out of the dough. Dust the work surface with flour and roll them gently using rolling pin to make round paratha. Keep the aside, covered with a damp cloth.
Heat a tawa/griddle on medium low flame, when hot place the paratha and let is cook for 2 minutes. Flip it the paratha and increase the flame to medium high and spread ghee or oil and on top and the sides, when one side is cooked again flip and cook until the paratha turns golden brown when it gets cooked. See that both the sides are cooked well.

Carrot Paneer Parathas#BreadBakers

It's time for posting this month's Bread Bakers event for which the theme is "Breakfast Breads". Our Host is Felice Geoghegan, thank you dear for hosting this event.

Carrot Paneer Paratha is a soft and delicious flatbread served as a breakfast, filling and healthy. Have two to three of these and it keep's you going, full of energy, till past lunch time.

Ingredients
2 Cups  Heaped  Whole Wheat flour

2 Long Red  Carrots -  grated
150 Grams Paneer  - grated
1 Small Onion - chopperized
2  Green chillies - chopperized
2 Tablespoons Coriander leaves - chopperized 

1 Teaspoon Cumin powder

1 Teaspoon Amchur powder or to taste

1 Teaspoon Red Chilly powder or to taste

1 Tablespoon Heaped Ghee

Salt to taste
Water to knead
Method

Grate the carrots  and paneer, keep aside.

In a large bowl or plate (what we call thaal, paraat ) add the  wheat flour, grated carrot and paneer and rest of the ingredients mix well.  

Then add water 1/4 cup at a time and knead  into a soft pliable dough. Keep aside covered for 10 minutes.  

Then divide into equal balls

Dust the work surface with dry flour and flatten a ball of dough

roll it into  a circle / thick parathas.

Heat the tawa / skillet and roast the paratha till brown spots appear on the bottom side.

flip and roast till brown spots appear.

Drizzle oil on top and cook till golden brown.

In the same way roast / bake all the parathas

Serve hot 

Enjoy with curds or kethup.

My Notes

I prefer to use red carrots for flatbreads / parathas since they are soft and juicy.  

If you do not get these, the orange ones / Ooty carrotstoo are fine.  

Taste for salt and spices while kneading the dough. Adjust them according to your taste.
