Rajasthani Tikkar Paratha / Gluten free

This Rajasthani Tikkar Paaratha is Gluten free version of usual Tikkar Paratha. Tikkar Paratha is a popular dish from the desert province of Rajasthan.  The uniqueness of this dish is that its added with tomatoes along with onions while kneading the flour.

To make it a gluten free version, I have tweaked the recipe here by substituting my gluten free flour mix instead of wheat flour and added a bit of besan to bring softness to the roti, as corn meal makes it a little dry. Though traditionally it is made  with maize flour mixed with wheat flour,

It’s a versatile, wholesome & healthy dish that you can have it either for breakfast or for lunch.  When served with curd and pickle it tastes delicious.

February 10th is celebrated as World Pulses Day. I am an avid fan of whole pulses / lentils. When I took a review of my posts so far, I realised I have as of today posted 22 recipes using whole pulses & legumes. I decided to compile all those recipes and make an eBook that you can download from my site.
