Rajgira Paratha is a gluten-free recipe that is made from Rajgira Atta or also known as Amaranth flour. Rajgira is the common flour that is eaten during fasting (upvas) where cereals foods are prohibited. This paratha is simple to make and requires a few ingredients which are readily available at home. Ingredients include Rajgira atta, potato, and a few Indian spices.

Amaranth Roti is not only super delicious but also a very easy and quick recipe that can be enjoyed with Farali aloo ki sabzi and curd. These parathas stay soft for a longer time. They make a healthy and nutritious tiffin box for kids and elders.

Apart from this paratha, you can also make Rajgira ki poori, or Rajgira ki roti but it is slightly tricky to make them. As Rajgira atta is gluten-free, it aids in boosting your metabolism helping with weight loss. Just replace your normal flour with Rajgira and off you go. If you are looking for a weight loss diet, then this is a perfect weight loss paratha recipe.

Notes

1. No rest after kneading the dough. Salt and potato will release the water and dough will become very soft making it difficult to roll the paratha. Make the parathas immediately
2. Can add 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds while kneading the dough. Gives a good taste
3. Can roast the paratha in oil, recommend roasting in ghee for better flavor
4. Can use normal salt if not making this paratha for fasting
