For old times sake.....our take on Aloo Paratha.....!
Ingredients: serves 2-4
Wheat flour: 4-5 cups
Potatoes: 2-3 medium size, boiled, peeled and mashed
Salt: to taste
Jeera/cumin
Red chili flakes
Green chili: 2-3 finely chopped
Ginger: grated- 2tsp
Cilantro: handful finely chopped
For the dough: mix wheat flour, salt and warm water and knead to form a smooth dough. Keep aside, covered.
Mix the mashed potatoes with salt, cumin, red chili flakes, ginger and cilantro….this tastes sooo good!!
Roll the dough into a 5 inch circle and scoop (use an ice cream scooper) a generous helping of the potato mix into it. Well generous coz we do not want to wonder what happened to aloo in aloo paratha…taste of aloo edge to edge!! ;-) Slowly lift the edges and bring together in the center to form a pouch. Press the ends together to close the pouch. Remove any extra dough and seal. Press down so you have a flattened pouch. Flour the rolling surface and roll the flat pouch to a 7-8 inch circle. Now!! Don’t obsess about the round shape!!:)
Heat a pan and toss the paratha on it, cook till bubbles start to pop on the surface. Flip and cook about one more minute. Now add oil/ghee and let it roast on both sides to a crispy crunchy golden brownness. Parathas have to be eaten hot and straight from the pan so, serve hot with butter, yogurt and achar…ummmm!! Sooo good!!
