Chunna Roti\ Coconut-Jaggery Stuffed Parathas

While I was a kid, my mom used to prepare this delicious Chunna Roti for evenings snacks and serve it to us hot and nice directly from the tava. Mom used to also tell us about her childhood stories and how her mom used to serve all her 6 siblings hot delicious food :). After staying for years in Bangalore, How much I miss my mom made food and also my dear mom.

Coming to the recipe, Chunna Roti is a kind of roti stuffed with a sweet filling prepared using grated coconut and jaggery. It is typically prepared in Goan homes.

Last week I just gave a try to this Chunna Roti. It did not come as best as hers, but still delicious.

Here goes the recipe

Ingriedients:
Grated coconut - half cup
Grated jaggery - little less than half cup
Salt - a pinch
Wheat flour
Water
Ghee

Procedure:
1. Mix the grated coconut and grated jaggery with a pich of salt and keep aside.This is the stuffing. It is also called as Chunn in konkani
2. Prepare the usual chapathi dough by mixing wheat flour, water and a pinch of salt.
3. Prepare round balls.
4. Roll it to spread a little and then stuff the chunn and pack it. Finally roll it again such that the stuffing is evenly spread across. This is similar to how we prepare the aloo paratha.
5. Place it on a tava, grease it with ghee. Flip to the other side and apply ghee. Once it turns golden brown, its done.

Chunna Roti is ready. Serve it hot to your loved ones.
