1  Leek  - sliced thinly
3 Medium Potatoes - peeled  & thinly sliced
3  Cups Water
1 Veg Stock Cube or Salt to taste
Black Pepper  powder to taste

Method
Melt butter in a pot / saucepan over medium heat. Add the leek and saute for  a minute.  Add the potatoes, stock cube and water,  Place the lid on, simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until potato is very soft.
Take  off flame and let it cool a little .  Then with a stick blender , blend until  for a second or two.  This soup should be grainy, thick and not smooth or liquidy.

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.
