Health benefits of Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is an excellent source of provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, and manganese. In addition, the high antioxidant content of butternut squash may reduce your risk of certain conditions, including heart disease, lung cancer, and mental decline.

Squash Paratha Ingredients

  • Wheat flour: I used whole wheat flour for this paratha. You can also use multigrain flour.
  • Butternut squash puree: I have cooked raw butternut squash in an instant pot pressure cooker and made puree. You may use any kind of squash or pumpkin in this recipe.
  • Ginger: use minced or grated ginger. It's optional.
  • Spices: cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric, amchur powder, and garam masala powder are used.
  • Herbs: finely chopped fresh coriander leaves.
  • Ghee or oil: I always prefer adding ghee for parathas, it makes parathas more soft and delicious.

How to make Butternut Squash Paratha

Firstly peel the skin of butternut squash, wash and dice them into 2-inch pieces. Add them to a pan with some water. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes and turn off the stove. Once cooled, puree them in a blender without water.

OR If you are using an Instant pot, pressure cook for 5 min High Pressure, and then puree.

Note: 2 cups of raw butternut squash yielded me 1 cup of puree.

In a bowl, add wheat flour, pureed butternut squash, ginger, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur powder, and salt. Mix well.

step to prepare butternut squash chapati dough

Add very little water and make a smooth (but not sticky) dough. Smear a little oil on the dough and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes.

Make balls from the dough. Roll the parathas to 3-inch diameter using a chapati roller.

Heat up a tawa/skillet on medium heat and place the paratha and let it cook.

Once you see bubbles, flip onto the other side and drizzle some ghee or oil on top till they have nice golden spots on both sides.

Serve Healthy Butternut Squash Paratha/flatbread recipe with curd, pickle, raita, or any gravy of your choice.

Tips & Variations

  • You can even use steamed and grated butternut squash to make these parathas if you don't have time to boil and puree them.
  • This paratha is slightly sweet because of butternut squash so adjust the spices accordingly to make it spicy.
  • To make it more healthy, you can add green leafy vegetables like finely chopped spinach or methi (fenugreek leaves).
  • You can also just make butternut squash chapati or roti by just mixing wheat flour, butternut squash puree, and salt into a dough.
