Aloo Paratha Recipe

How to make delicious Aloo Paratha

Aloo paratha is a popular Indian flatbread stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes. Here is a recipe for making delicious aloo paratha:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup mashed potatoes
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• Salt, to taste
• Water, as needed
• Ghee or oil, for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and enough water to make a soft dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
3. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle using a rolling pin.
4. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of the dough circle. Bring the edges of the dough together and seal the filling inside. Flatten the ball slightly.
5. Dust the stuffed ball with some flour and roll it out gently into a circle, around 6-7 inches in diameter.
6. Heat a tawa or griddle on medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the hot griddle. Cook for a minute or until the surface starts to bubble.
7. Flip the paratha over and cook for another minute. Spread some ghee or oil on the surface and flip again. Cook until both sides are golden brown.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling to make more parathas.
9. Serve hot with some yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
