ALOO PARATHA / POTATO PARATHA

Hey all !! Who likes Aloo paratha ??? :-)

I can see all our hands up :-) My hubby

likes aloo parathas a lot.. but not the 

way I used to make..I grate boiled potatoes

& add wheat flour to it and make parathas 

from that..But my hubby likes the stuffed 

potato type.. My neighbour / friend helped

me with the stuffed aloo paratha recipe..

And it is really good..Now my hubby likes

my parathas :-)  Success :-)

ALOO PARATHA / POTATO PARATHA RECIPE:

Recipe cuisine: Indian / Recipe category: Main Course

 Prep time: 30 mins / cook time: 30 mins

FOR THE DOUGH:
Wheat flour : 2 cups
Water : As required
Salt : As required
Oil : 1 tsp + 1/8 cup for frying parathas

FOR THE STUFFING:
Potatoes / Aloo (boiled) : 2 medium sized
Coriander (chopped) : 1 tblsp
Ginger paste : 1 tsp
Green Chilly paste : 1 tsp
Cumin powder : 2 tsp
Garam masala : 2 tsp
Chat masala : 1/2 tsp
Salt : As required

METHOD:
Take flour in a bowl, add salt & water slowly.
Start to knead the dough and make a smooth dough.
Pls make sure dough is not sticky or not hard.

Now add 1 tsp oil & knead the dough again.
Cover & keep aside in a air tight container for
15 - 20 mins.

In a bowl take boiled potatoes and all ingredients 
under "FOR THE STUFFING". Mix well
by mashing the potatoes without any lumps.

Make even round balls. Now take the dough & 
even round balls. The size of dough balls should be
bigger than the size of stuffing balls.

Now take a dough ball & roll it to form a small disc.
Apply water all over the disc and place potato stuffing
in the middle. Pls start to cover the stuffing with dough
as per the pics below :) Keep the dough stuffed with potato upside down till
you finish stuffing the remaining dough.

Now grab the first dough stuffing & dust it with as much
wheat flour as possible both the sides. Start to roll the 
dough stuffing gently with a rolling pin and make parathas.

Heat pan in medium flame. Once the pan is hot, transfer
the parathas. Start to cook both the sides with 1/2 tsp of oil.
Once parathas turn golden brown colour both the sides, remove it .
Continue the same process for rest of the parathas :)

Serve hot parathas with your favourite sabji / dahi & achar :-)

NOTE:
* The dough should be soft & firm. If it is sticky or hard,
parathas will become hard.
* For the stuffing, please use masala of your choice.
* While rolling the stuffed dough dusting flour is important.
In case if the dough breaks and stuffing comes out, the flour 
will help to patch the same.
* I like to roll the parathas thin, if you want pls roll it a bit thicker.
* For frying paratahs, I used olive oil. Ghee or butter can also
be used.
