Aloo
paratha is a paratha stuffed with potato filling native to the Indian
subcontinent. It is traditionally eaten for breakfast. It is made using
unleavened dough rolled with a mixture of mashed potato and spices which is
cooked on a hot tawa with butter or ghee
So, let get start our delicious recipe of Aloo Paratha in English:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups
whole wheat flour
- 2
medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 2 green
chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon
ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon
coriander powder
- 1/2
teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2
teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to
taste
- Fresh
coriander leaves, chopped
- Ghee or oil
for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. In another bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, grated ginger, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Take one ball of dough and roll it out into a small circle on a lightly floured surface.
4. Place a portion of the potato mixture (about 2 tablespoons) in the center of the rolled-out dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the filling and form a ball again.
5. Gently flatten the stuffed ball with your hands and roll it out again into a circle of about 6-7 inches in diameter. Be careful not to break the dough and ensure the filling is evenly distributed.
6. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out paratha on the tawa and cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
7. Flip the paratha and spread a teaspoon of ghee or oil evenly on the surface. Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides, pressing gently with a spatula.
8. Repeat the same process with the remaining dough balls and potato mixture to make more parathas.
9. Serve the hot Aloo Parathas with yogurt, pickle, any chutney or even with tomato souce of your choice.
