Aloo Paratha

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

Course: main | Servings: 6

Difficulty level: easy

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 216 g Atta, wheat
  • 1.2 g Salt

For the filling

  • 150 g Potato, boiled and mashed
  • 2.4 g Salt
  • 3 g Green chillies, finely chopped
  • 1.5 g Dried chillies, powdered

Instructions:

For the dough

  • Add atta and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well
  • Add water gradually, and knead well to a soft, elastic dough. This allows for liberal stuffing of the paratha. Rest dough for 10-15 mins.

For the filling

  • Add mashed potatoes, salt, chopped green chillies and red chilli powder to a mixing bowl. Mix well, using a spatula or your hands. Divide filling into 6 equal portions.

To make the paratha

  • Divide the rested dough into 6 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball.
  • Dust a board of flat surface with dry flour. Flatten a dough ball using your hands into a 6-in disk, and place a filling ball into its center. Wrap the dough around the filling and flatten.
  • Dust the filled dough with dry atta, and roll out into a circle, ~9-in in diameter

To cook the paratha

  • Heat a tawa or cast iron griddle over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Place the paratha on the hot griddle and turn the heat to medium-low. Cook on one side for 50-60 seconds. Flip using a spatula or tongs, and cook on the other side for 35-40 seconds
  • Using the back of a spoon, spread 1/2 tsp of oil on the partly cooked paratha. Flip and cook on medium-high heat, using a paratha presser or spatula until golden-brown
  • Repeat the oil application on the other side, flip and cook until golden brown

Serving instructions

  • Serve hot, with butter, chutney / pickle and yogurt / raita of your choice
