Aloo Paratha

Aloo Paratha

Aloo paratha is a North Indian dish. I have eaten this dish from my north Indian friend’s house. Since I like that very much, I collected the recipe from them. I made this dish in my home and it came very good and now almost all Sunday I used to make this dish as my husband like it very much.

Ingredients

Wheat flour(Atta) – 01 cup

Potato (Big) – 03 nos

Green chili – 03 nos

Ginger (chopped) -01 inch

Coriander leaves (chopped) – few

Dry mango powder – 02 tsp

Salt - As per taste

Oil – 02 tbsp

Cumin seed – 01 pinch

Ghee – little

Method

Make dough as we make for chapatti by adding required water and salt to the wheat flour. Make small balls of it and keep it aside.

Now, boil potatoes in pressure cooker and mash the potatoes with hand.

Add the green chilli, ginger, coriander leaves, dry mango powder and salt in to it and mix well.

Boil oil in a pan and crackle the cumin seed. Add potato mixture into it and mix it well.

Dust the board with wheat flour. Roll the dough into 3 inch diameter circles. Place the potato mixture in the centre and seal by pulling the edges of the rolled dough together to make a ball.

Make similar balls with all dough and potato mixture and let them to settle for 3-4 minutes before rolling them.

Roll the ball into a 6-inch circles (Note: Whenever dough sticks into the rolling stick or surface, lightly sprinkle dry whole wheat flour onboth sides of the semi rolled paratha)

Heat the tava on medium flame and place the paratha over it. After a few seconds flip the paratha over and spread little oil over it and again flip the paratha and lightly press it with a spatula. Flip it till both sides become golden-brown colour.

Parathas can be served with Coriander chutney and Plain curd.
