Make soft, flaky aloo parathas stuffed with a perfectly spiced potato filling for a comforting homemade meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp oil or ghee
- Water, as needed
- 3 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
- ½ tsp grated ginger
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp coriander powder
- ¼ tsp red chilli powder
- ½ tsp garam masala
- Salt to taste
- Ghee or oil, as required
Preparation
- Mix the flour, salt and oil. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with green chilli, coriander leaves, ginger, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
- Divide the dough and filling into equal portions.
- Roll one dough ball into a small disc, place the potato filling in the centre, gather the edges and seal.
- Gently roll it into a round paratha, dusting with flour if needed.
- Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Cook the paratha until light brown spots appear, flip, apply ghee or oil, and cook both sides until golden and crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
