Sweet Corn Paratha

My baby boy has recently started a liking to sweet corn( He is somewhat addicted to it since the last few days) So I had a few packets of sweet corn kernels in my fridge. So when I thought about trying out a different kind of paratha, the sweet corn came to my mind. I experimented on it and it came out perfect. Do here is my sweet corn Paratha recipe. If you want you can blend the sweet corn and make it into a pulp before stuffing it. I preferred it this way) Enjoy.
Ingredients
Wheat flour  - 1 cup
Sweet corn - 1/4  cup
Butter-1tbsp
Pepper powder-1 tbsp
Oil - 2-3 tbs
Coriander leaves  - 2-3 tbsp
Green chilly - 1-2 Chopped
Salt - ½ tsp or as per taste
Method
Take out the dough in a bowl. Boil the corn kernels until they are very soft and juicy. Mix it with buttet and pepper. Add the sweet corn  to the wheat flour. Add salt, green chillies and coriander leaves to the mixture. Now knead the flour using water. Let the wheat dough be a little hard in comparison to the normal dough. Cover the dough and let it remain for 20 minutes. Our dough will become fluffy and will set.
Now apply a little oil on your hands and smoothen the dough by kneading it for a while.  Put the pan over a flame to heat.
Break a ball of dough having the size of a lemon. Put some dry flour on it. Now we will roll out the balls smoothly one by one. It should be approximately 4 to 5 inch in length. Once the paratha is rolled, put oil on top. Spread the oil evenly on all four sides using a spoon. Fold the paratha in half. Put a little oil on top of this also and spread it. Once again fold the paratha into half.
Now wrap it with dry flour and roll it again. Prepare a thick paratha. Make sure it is neither too thin nor too thick. Our triangular paratha is rolled out and ready. Heat the pan. Apply oil on it and spread it all over the pan’s surface. Put the paratha in the pan and let it fry. Turn the paratha over once it gets a little brown in colour. Apply oil on all sides of the paratha and then flip it. Fry the paratha till it becomes golden brown in colour from both sides. Serve hot with chutney, pickle or curd.
