- Grind coriander seeds to a coarse powder. Finely chop green chillies and cilantro leaves. (Add green chillies keeping in mind the sweetness of beetroot.) Peel the beetroot skin and grate it.

- Make round balls of the wheat dough and roll each one big enough (about 4-5 inches diameter) to hold the stuffing.
- Place 1 - 2 tbsp stuffing in the centre and gather the edges into a round ball. Let the stuffed balls rest for a couple of minutes. Roll each stuffed ball gently dusting wheat flour, like roti.
- Heat a griddle/tawa and roast rolled stuffed parathas both sides using butter or oil.
