Ingredients

  • whole wheat or multigrain flour
  • grated zucchini
  • grated carrot
  • ginger, finely chopped (optional)
  • coriander leaves, finely chopped
  • garam masala
  • ajwain (carrom seeds)
  • red chili powder
  • turmeric powder (optional)
  • salt, to taste
  • oil or ghee to (cook parathas)

How to Make Zucchini Paratha

Grate the carrot and zucchini. Squeeze the water from the zucchini and reserve water to knead dough or for a curry.

add grated zucchini and carrots to a bowl

In a bowl, add grated zucchini, carrot, coriander leaves, ajwain, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, ginger, wheat flour, and salt. Mix well.

add wheat flour and spices

Zucchini will ooze out some water hence be careful while adding extra water and make a smooth (but not sticky) dough. Smear little oil on the dough and let it rest for only 5 mins. Do not rest it for more time, the dough becomes very soft.

knead the dough smooth

Make balls from the dough. I was able to get six balls.

Roll the parathas semi-thick/ thin by dusting them with some dry flour.

Heat 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.

fry the easy zucchini paratha

Flip again and drizzle oil or ghee on the other side until they have nice golden spots on both sides.

Tips & Variations to make Zucchini Carrot Paratha

  1. If you are vegan, then skip ghee and use any cooking oil.
  2. You can also add some chopped mint and amchur powder (dry mango powder) for extra flavor.
  3. Do not skip removing excess water from the grated zucchini.
  4. Zucchini can be replaced with radish or bottle gourd.
  5. Use 1-2 tablespoons of extra flour if the dough becomes soft.

    Made this today and added scallions. LOVED it. I did not need to add any water. The parathas came out super soft and delicious. I skipped the ginger. Love your recipes.

    This recipe is just what I'm looking for, as my garden is awash in carrots and zucchini. I have a great bread recipe but wanted to experiment.
    I recently bought a new cook book called Bibi's Kitchen, and recipes from the African coast are highlighted. It's fascinating how all these different cultures seem to merge when it comes to what we eat. My heritage is Turkish Sephardic and Romanian Polish. Talk about a food heaven!
    Thanks for opening my mind up to some different ideas for this garden season.
