- 1 cup pumpkin canned or homemade, puree
- 2½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup jaggery grated
- ¼ teaspoon saffron
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ cup whole wheat flour for rolling parathas
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons ghee

- Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll each ball using some wheat flour into a 6-8 inch thin circle. Apply ghee to the rolled bread and then fold up to form layers and then fold it circular to form a disk. Parathas can also be made without layering by simply rolling the balls into 6-8 inch round parathas.
- Now roll these discs (or the dough balls without layering) once again using dry flour to 6-8 inches diameter circle. Put the rolled paratha on a hot griddle and cook on both sides on high medium heat. Apply ghee on both sides.
- Dust some powdered sugar over the paratha and serve hot or at room temperature with a glass of chilled milk or hot chai.
