Method
Sprinkle 2 pinches of salt over cabbage and leave for 10-12 minutes. Squeeze the water
from the cabbage with hands and keep aside. Boil the corn till tender and crush coarsely.
Heat the oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. When they splutter, add cabbage, coarsely
mashed & boiled potatoes, crushed corn, lemon juice, sugar, coriander leaves, green
chili, garam masala and salt. Mix well and remove from fire, keep aside.
Make paste of the above ingredients meant for the sauce in a mixer by adding water, as
required.
Mix the flours, mint sauce, ghee; make soft dough for chapattis with water and keep aside
for 1/2 an hour. Make very thin rounds and cook on griddle applying oil on both sides, till
little brown spots appear on the surface.
Put about 2 tsp of the stuffing in the center of the parathas. Fold just like dosa and press
well. Cook again applying oil, as required.
Serve hot at breakfast with sauce or curd. These parathas can be carried along journeys
and picnics.
