Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

    To make aloo stuff:

    • 4 boiled potatoes
    • 2 tbsp oil
    • ½ tsp cumin seeds
    • 1 big onion
    • 2 red chillies
    • 1 tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp garam masala
    • ¼ tsp cumin powder
    • ¼ tsp chat masala optional
    • ¼ tsp amchoor optional
    • 2 tbsp coriander leaves

    To make paratha:

    • 3 cups whole wheat flour
    • ½ tsp salt
    • Oil/ghee to cook parathas

    Instructions
     

    Preparation:

    • Boil potatoes until soft with enough water or pressure cook for two whistles.
    • Remove the skin of the potatoes, mash them and keep aside.
    • Fine chop onion, green chillies and coriander leaves.

    Recipe to make Aloo paratha:

      Prepare chapati dough:

      • In a mixing bowl, add salt, wheat flour with a teaspoon of ghee.
      • Add water gradually and knead into thick non-sticky dough.
      • Apply some oil on top of it and keep covered.
      • You can make equal sized dough balls and keep ready.

      How to make Aloo paratha stuff:

      • Heat another pan with oil in it, season with cumin seeds & add finely chopped onions and green chillies.
      • Fry onions until transparent color.
      • Now add mashed potatoes and mix with onions.
      • Put all the spice powders one by one. Starting with salt add cumin powder, chat masala, garam masala, and amchur powder.
      • Chat masala and amchur powder are optional ingredients. But I do suggest adding them as they give a nice north Indian flavor to the stuffed parathas.
      • Finally, add chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Keep aside and let the stuffing cool down.
      • Make an equal number of stuff balls based on your wheat flour dough balls quantity and keep ready.

      How to stuff the paratha:

      • Take a small tennis ball size dough, dust with flour and roll gently into a thick circle (approx.5 inches diameter).
      • Place the stuff at the middle of the circle, pull the corners of the paratha towards the center as shown.
      • Dust with flour and roll with a pin gently by slightly giving even pressure.
      • Press as thin as possible. If the stuff comes out sprinkle with some flour and tap with fingers.

      How to make Aloo paratha:

      • Place a roti Tawa on the stove, grease with oil or ghee.
      • Cook paratha in medium temperature for few minutes.
      • As the stuff is already cooked, it will take only two to three minutes to cook the bottom side.
      • Flip the paratta, drizzle oil or ghee again and cook for few more minutes until golden spots appear.
      • When you see a nice golden color with brown spots all over, remove from Tawa.
      • Just before serving you can add a small blob of butter on top of it for extra taste.
      • Serve with masala curd or pickle or any veg gravy.

      Notes

      Tips: 1) You can avoid onions if you like the traditional version. 2) If you are serving for young kids, replace green chillies with half a tsp of Chilli powder.
