Pistachio Paranthas

This food is known as a natural remedy for arthritis. Used as such, it can be taken as a mono diet. It can also help a man to build his potency, or to repair damage to his sexual organs. For this purpose, a man should one day a week eat two paranthas and nothing else.

Flour:
½ cup corn flour
½ cup garbanzo flour
½ cup bhajara flour (if not available, use whole wheat flour)
3 cups whole wheat flour

Stuffing:
1 lb. pistachio nuts - raw, shelled, unsalted
1 cup minced cauliflower
1 chopped onion
2 tsp. saffron
1 tsp. ground red chilies
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
¼ cup milk
Ghee

Soak saffron overnight in milk. In morning, blend until smooth. Finely chop stuffing ingredients and mix well, or blend in food processor to form a fine mixture. Mix the flours with water to form a doughy consistency.

Knead the dough for a while, then place a golf ball size ball on a floured surface and roll to about a 6-inch diameter. Place about ½ cup of the stuffing in the middle, then bring up the sides of the dough around it, pinching it together at the top to seal the stuffing inside. Roll it out again into a flattened 6-inch diameter. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes over a low flame on a dry chapatti pan or frying pan. Then turn it over and pour melted ghee on top of the parantha. It will seep through the other side. Cook for about 5 minutes, pressing the top of the parantha with a spoon until thoroughly cooked. Serve with yogurt.
Makes about 12 medium paranthas.
