Aloo Paratha

Aloo Paratha needs no explanation. It is made in every household and loved by all...

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 2 cups wheat flour
• 1 cup maida
• salt to taste
• water as required

Filling:

• 5 big potatoes boiled
• 2 tea spoon green chilly paste
• 2 tea spoon ginger paste
• salt to taste
• 1 tea spoon cumin/jeera powder

Method:

Mix all the ingredients of the dough together and knead well to make a soft dough.

Peel and mash boiled potatoes when they are still hot and add green chilly paste, ginger paste, cumin powder and salt.Mix all of it together.

For Paratha, take a palm full of the dough to form a small ball, dust the board with some wheat flour and roll the dough with a rolling pin gently to form a small chapati. Place the potato filling in the centre of the dough.

Now close the dough from all the sides to form a small modak. As shown in the picture below. If there is some extra dough on top remove it and seal it properly.

 

Now turn the ball upside down dust the board with wheat flour and flatten the stuffed dough using a rolling pin, gently flatten it to form a thick round circle. Do not make the parathas very thin. Be careful not to be too hard or the filling may come out.

Heat a tawa/griddle and fry the paratha with oil or ghee from both the sides on a medium flame. When both the sides turn golden brown your paratha is ready to serve.

   

Serve hot with dahi, raita, pickle, butter or sauce.
