Red Bell Pepper Paratha

Red bell pepper is a rich in vitamin C and is also a good source of antioxidant.Here this is easily available in the vegetable aisle of the grocery store.Mostly I use these peppers in salad and soups but today I used it in paratha because I had so much peppers in my refrigerator.This paratha is very tasty and  healthy . can be served as a breakfast , lunch or dinner with yummy ratia or any pickles or just with tea and coffee.I like this because it feels me up and I think I will also help me in losing calories.




Ingredients
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced onion
6 red chillies
1 tablespoon finely chopped mint 
6 small garlic roughly chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
salt to taste
warm water
2 tablespoon of ghee or unsalted butter

Preparation
In a food processor place bell peppers.onions,garlic,chillies, and chop it into fine pieces. then add in finely chopped mint and mix everything together.

Method
1.Heat oil in a skillet and add in cumin seeds ,let it pop then add the pepper mixture ,add in salt and cook it couple of minutes.Then leave it in a strainer to drain out excess liquid.
2.  In a bowl add in flour  and enough water to make a dough. Roll out the dough and make small balls  then make a hole and put in little bit of the mixture ,then make it flat and roll it out with a rolling pin
3.Heat a tawa or a non stick skillet and cook the paratha on both sides ,then with a brush brush the paratha's with the ghee.
4.Take it off the skillet and serve it with raita or and dip of your choice.

My daughter loves this and she likes it with mango pickles.
