Instructions

To prepare filling :
Wash, peel and grated raw papaya and collect in a bowl.

Collect the squeezed dry papaya mix in another bowl and add rest of the ingredients mentioned above and mix well.
To prepare paratha :
Heat and iron tawa and meanwhile prepare a soft dough with whole wheat flour, salt, little oil and Luke warm water.
Pinch a handful portion from the dough and flatten it to make a puri sized disk. Take 1-2 tbsp of the filling and place in between the disk.
Collect all sides of the disk and seal them in the center and roll to make s ball again.
Pat some dry flour on the stuffed ball and roll into a round paratha. Place it on the hot tawa and dry roast it from one side.
Flip and dry roast the other side too. Now add some pure ghee in the center as well as from the sides too.
Flip and fry the other side too till the paratha is nicely brown and crisp.
Transfer it on a kitchen towel to absorb excess ghee. Serve it with your favorite raita or chutney.
