Total time:
Serves: 4
- 4 medium potatoes (boiled and mashed)
- 2 green chilies (sliced)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 1 garlic (grated)
- ½ teaspoon chili powder/paprika
- ½ teaspoon garam masala (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves (omit if you are not a fan)
- Salt
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ghee/oil
- Water as required for kneading
- Additional oil or ghee for the paratha
- In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and saute green chili and onion for 3-5 minutes.
- Add garlic and spices and saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in mashed potato, salt and chopped coriander and cook this for about 2 minutes.
- Set this filling aside.
- In a mixing bowl, mix whole wheat flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center and add the oil and about ½ cup of water.
- Bring the mixture together and keep adding water until all the flour comes together to form a nice dough.
- Once it forms a dough, continue kneading till you get a soft dough.
- Cover with a cling wrap/cloth and keep the dough aside for at least 30 minutes or up till 3 hours.
- (There are 2 methods to assemble the paratha as mention in the post. Do refer to the instructions and pictures above)
- On a well-dusted board, place a golf ball size dough and roll it into a circle of approximately 5 - 6 inches diameter.
- Place the potato stuffing in the center of the circle. I molded the filling into a ball as it is easier this way.
- Get hold of the edge of the dough, pleat and bring the pleats together and pinch to seal.
- Roll the ball gently into a rough 7-inch circle.
- Heat a non-stick skillet/pan and once it is hot, place 1 aloo paratha on the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes and flip it to cook the other side as well. Apply some oil on both sides of the paratha.
- Flip the paratha again till both sides are fully done and you can see some crisp brown spots on the paratha.
- Once cooked, you can either serve with butter, yogurt or curry.
