Ever feel the magic of a warm, crisp whole wheat paratha & Bathua Aloo Parantha, fresh off the tawa, with a dollop of Aangana Mango Pickle? The taste whisks you straight into the confines of your grandmother’s kitchen: simple, wholesome, full of flavor, and totally apt for winters!

A Winter Delight & the Nostalgia of Bathua

It’s that time of the year when the chilled air and short days beckon for comfort and soul-warming food. And of course, winters used to be incomplete without  Bathua while growing up in one way or another: a simple Bathua sabzi or creamier Bathua raita or the mouth-watering Bathua paranthas—this little green leaf would hold star importance in every meal. The smell of cooked Bathua always brought me running to the table for my share, and the crispy, stuffed Aloo Bathua Parantha was just irresistible. I remember, how my grandmother would make a large batch of these paranthas, each one stuffed to perfection, and no meal was complete without a spoonful of her secret mango pickle on the side.

These are days when food felt like a warm hug, packed with memories and love.

Bathua Health Benefits: A Super Green of Winter Season

Our bodies ask for more nutrition in the cold season so that we can stay strong and energized. Enter Bathua: the grossly underrated supergreen that overflows with nutrition, containing very high amounts of vitamins A and C that promote good immunity and keep seasonal winter colds away. It’s a good source of calcium and iron, too, promoting bone health and purifying body toxins.

Little do you know, bathua is also considered a natural remedy for digestion problems. Thanks to the high content of fiber, it helps to regulate digestion and prevent bloating; hence, making it perfect during the heavy winter months. Plus, it is packed with folic acid and other nutrients that really help boost energy levels, keeping you active despite the cold.

Be it a side dish or stuffed parantha, Bathua is simply unbeatable in terms of its taste and health benefits. 

Perfect Recipe for Making Bathua Aloo Stuffed Parantha

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Bathua leaves, washed and chopped
• 2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 finely chopped onion (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds)
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• Salt to taste
• Whole wheat flour to make the dough
• Ghee or oil for frying

Method:

1. To prepare the dough: Take a mixture of whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and bind it into a soft dough with water. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Filling preparation: Heat some oil in a pan, add the ajwain-cumin powder, and toss in the chopped Bathua leaves. Sauté until the leaves get wilted in 2-3 minutes. Let it cool off.
3. Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and sautéed Bathua with the rest of the spices: garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Ensure it is well combined.
4. Stuff the paranthas: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a small circle, place a spoonful of the Bathua-aloo filling in the center, and seal it. Gently roll it out into a flat, round parantha.
5. Cooking the paranthas: Heat a tawa or flat pan and cook the stuffed paranthas on medium heat. Lacing with ghee or oil, cook until both sides are golden brown.
6. Serve hot with a dollop of your favorite yogurt or with a side of Aangana’s Ramkela Mango Pickle to give it an extra kick!
