Instructions

Take all ingredients in bowls. Wash pumpkin under running water and chop in large chunks.
Grate pumpkin and dont drain water it leaves.
Take a big bowl (Parath) for kneading dough. Add besan, wheat flour(Atta) along with grated pumpkin to it. Add spices, salt, curd, onion also along.
Knead the dough which is not very tight or very watery. it would take around 5-10 min and some good punches . Add water little by little as required.
Once almost kneaded, add desi ghee to it and knead again for one min. Keep it covered for 10-15min.
Take out a large portion of dough and roll it to make paratha. Dust your rolling board with wheat flour.
Roll it in a thin or thick paratha as you like it.
Place it on hot iron tawa and make gas flame simmer. I have used iron tawa for more than a decade and I can easily make parathas using it.
Flip the side when it leaves tawa and add ghee/oil for making it. The simmer gas makes crispy and amazing parathas. Some poeople hurriedly make it on full flame, they are not crispy. So you may cook as you like it.
Serve your paratha wth dahi, achar!! Enjoy!!

Notes

When we make dough with curd, the parathas turn out really well. Make sure to adjust water ratio if the curd is already watery.
Knead a not-so-tight dough. Try to keep dough covered for at least 10 minutes. Any dough needs at least 10 min to get set and rise. Do add ghee or curd or both while kneading it. That's my secret to crispy parathas.
If you are using a gluten free flour, the parathas won't bind easily. So, use very less water and apply oil/ ghee on hands and make flatbread with the tip of fingers over a parchment paper as it might break easily.
Use of Iron Tawa is highly recommended. Make sure to place paratha on a hot tawa and cook on slow flame.
