Rajma Paratha Recipe – Easy Stuffed Rajma Paratha

June 13, 2012 by Sharmilee J 39 Comments

Rajma Paratha Recipe

Rajma Paratha is a stuffed paratha variety with rajma filling…it is healthy too with a additional reason its easy to whip up and needs no side dish as it tastes good even as such may be just raita to finish it up. I had just 1/2 cup of left over rajma waiting to get used and this time wanted to try a paratha with it. Even hubby who is not a fan of rajma loved the parathas – Now is that enough to tempt you to try these?! 🙂

Rajma Paratha Recipe

  5. The stuffing should be semi thick and not dry, set aside. Flour the surface and roll the chappathi dough slightly thicker. Then add rajma stuffing at the center and gather the dough from all sides like shown below.

  6. Seal it finely. Now again flatten it slightly with your palms and then start rolling gently. Roll it without the filling oozing out. Dust flour so that it doesnt stick. Heat a dosa tawa , transfer the rajma parathas, drizzle little oil and cook on both sides until born spots appear.

Serve hot with raita or your favourite sidedish.

Rajma Masala Recipe

My Notes:

  • I have used the jamun rajma, you can also use the white variety.
  • Adding cloves with rajma while pressure cooking gives a nice masala flavour to the stuffing.
  • While rolling for the first time dont give more pressure in the center as the filling is going to be placed in the center and rolled again so make sure the center part is little thicker.
  • Gently roll the parathas and dust flour as and when needed.
  • Roll your parathas thick or thin as you like it. But stuffed parathas are good when they are a bit thicker as when rolled thin the filling starts to ooze out.

    Good one, but I think I would still prefer eating the Rajma Masala. For some reason I like eating the whole bean instead of mashed 😀

    I have made this a couple of times and used to love its taste. Rajma is kind of bland, so such recipes infact add taste to it 🙂

    Nice clicks. Like the blue background 🙂
