For the filling of coconut and oats parantha, take oats and add freshly grated coconut to it. Add elaichi powder and sugar as per taste. Make balls of this mix and put them into the dough balls to make the parantha. You may or may not need a rolling pin or belan to make this. If you put a little oil on the dough, then you can stretch it using your fingers only. Serve this parantha with melted gud, maple syrup, chocolate syrup or sweetened curd and see your kids gobble them up.

Zucchini Peanut Parantha

For the filling, mix a cup of grated zucchini with powder of roasted peanuts, turmeric powder and kasuri methi. Since zucchini is very watery, bind the dough filling with a bit of atta to make it dry and sticky enough to be rolled into balls. Serve with achaar, curd or butter just the way your kids like it.

Aaloo Paalak Parantha

Kids hate the sound of paalak but it is very important to make them eat this nutritious leafy vegetable. So your best bet is to sneak it inside an aaloo parantha. Make the filling by sauteing zeera seeds in a frying pan, add chopped onions, ginger-garlic paste, paalak leaves, mashed potatoes, lemon juice and dhaniya leaves with salt to taste. Make the paranthas with this filling and serve them hot and crunchy with some curd and achaar.
