To begin making the Pumpkin Tawa Paratha Recipe, we will first pressure cook the pumpkin till it is completely cooked, this will take about 4 to 5 whistle and Once down allow the pressure to release by itself and mash them well

In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, mashed pumpkin, a tablespoon of oil and knead adding little water at a time to make firm and smooth dough

Add one tablespoon of oil to coat the dough and knead again

Cover and set aside for 15 minutes

Knead once again and divide the dough into 8 portions

Preheat the iron skillet on medium heat

Roll the paratha dough portions into balls and flatten them with the palm of your hand

Toss them on flour and roll them out into circles of approximately 3 inches in diameter

Put 1/4 teaspoon oil and spread it on the rolled dough

We need to get a triangle shape, to do so, first fold into a semi-circle, then fold the semi-circle into half again

You get a mini triangle shape

Tossing the triangle on a little flour, roll it out gently into a larger triangle

Continue the same process of rolling with the remaining dough portions

With skillet on medium high heat, place one rolled out dough on the skillet

After a few seconds you will notice an air pockets popping out

At this point flip the plain paratha and smear about 1/2 a teaspoon of ghee

Using a flat spatula do a light pressing and turning motion to cook to the pumpkin paratha

Flip to the other side and press and turn in a similar way

You will notice brown spots around the pumpkin parathas and it will be slightly crisp

Remove from heat and place on a platter or serve hot

Continue the similar process with the remaining rolled portions and stack the cooked pumpkin paratha one above the other and serve hot
