ALOO PARATHA

Potato stuffed wheat flatbread. This stuffed paratha is a complete meal by itself. It's very popular in north India.

INGREDIENTS:
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Salt -1/2 tsp
Oil for shallow-frying
For filling:
Potatoes - 4 medium sized boiled, peeled
Green chilli (chopped) - 1 tsp
Coriander leaves (chopped) - 1 tbsp
Chaat masala - 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder to taste
Salt to taste
METHOD:

  • In a mixing bowl, take wheat flour, salt and make a soft dough with water. Keep it aside.
  • For filling: grate the boiled potatoes. You can certainly mash it if you want to. I grate them to give uniform texture. Mix grated potatoes with green chilli and rest of the ingredients for filling.
  • Now divide the dough and the filling into 8 portions. Roll a portion of dough slightly.
  • Stuff one portion of filling and fold to seal the filling. Roll it again into 6" disc by dusting flour.
  • Repeat this process for the rest of the portions.
  • Then heat tawa or griddle and shallow fry each paratha with 2tbsp oil on both sides.
  • Serve it hot with yoghurt and pickle.
Makes 8 parathas.
