Sunita's Easy Cooking: Tiranga Paratha / Tricolor Paratha

Happy independence day everyone!!! How about celebrating this beautiful and special day by giving tribute to our mother nation in our own way. I had this tricolor paratha idea in my mind since many days, was finding for the right occasion to prepare it. I had to cut the sides of paratha to make it uniform in size since the shape it came out after rolling was not exact rectangular. I added carrots for the saffron color, white is the all purpose flour, for green color I used spinach extract. I did not imitate it exactly since it would be difficult for us to have it :) It is just a combination 3 types of plain parathas. We will see the procedure below.

Ingredients:
Saffron color dough:
Carrots : 2 grated
Wheat flour : 1 cup
Salt : pinch of
Oil : 1tsp

White color dough:
All purpose flour : 1/2 cup
Wheat flour : 1/2 cup
Salt : pinch of
Oil : 1 tsp

Green color dough:
Spinach extract: 1/2 cup
Wheat flour : 1 cup
Salt : pinch of
Oil : 1 tsp

Water : is needed for kneading the dough.

Procedure:
1. In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients required for Saffron color dough. Add little water at a time and knead this to smooth dough. Keep it aside.
2. In the mixing bowl add all the ingredients required for white color dough. Add little water at a time and knead this to smooth dough.Keep it aside.
3. In the mixing bowl add all the ingredients required for green color dough. Add little water at a time and knead this to smooth dough. Keep it aside.
4. Let all the dough rest for around 15 mins.
5. Take small lemon sized dough of each type and make it rectangular size as shown in d pic. Attach them together side by side.

6. Roll this like chapati/roti from both the sides horizontal and vertical side. See that all the rolls are spread evenly.
7. With the knife cut the sides of spread dough into rectangular shape. (Mine has not become exact rectangular size, you can even make it sqaure shaped.)
