Ingredients
vegetarian
8 servings
- 3 cup flour
- 1 cup Egyptian dry fava beans ( soaked over night).
- 6 tbsp oil
- salt to your taste
- 2 tbsp chili sauce for momo's (look here for recipe)
- 1/4 cup curd
- 1 tsp jeera
- 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves.
- Enough water to make a semi firm dough.
- 2 tbsp mozzarella for each parhata
- 1 tbsp ghee for each parhata.
Directions
- Put the beans in pressure cooker and cook for 4 whistles ( some beans take longer time to cook).
- Once the beans are very tender add salt, chili sauce & zira then mash the beans to mushy consistency making sure the water has evaporated.
- Remove from heat & allow to cool.
- In a bowl combine flour, oil, curd, green, bean mixture and just enough water then knead with hands or food processor to a semi firm dough.
- Set the dough aside for 30 min.
- Divide into 8 equal size balls & roll each ball into a parhata.
- Heat Tava & fry the parhatas until one side is brown then add ghee and turn to do the same with the other side.
- Just before removing from heat sprinkle the top side with 2 tbsp mozzarella and keep on tava for few sec to allow the cheese to melt.
- Do this with all the parhatas and serve hot with your choice of curry, Achar or chutney.
* the dough 4 this parhata is a bit sticky so just dust enough flour so it does not stick while u roll them.
