Step-by-Step Instructions for Aloo Paratha
Prepare the Dough
o In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
o In another bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with green chilies, cumin seeds, coriander leaves, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
Divide the Dough
o Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Similarly, divide the potato filling into portions slightly smaller than the dough balls.
Stuff the Parathas
o Roll out a dough ball into a small circle. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center. Bring the edges together to seal the filling inside. Flatten it gently.
Roll the Parathas
o Carefully roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flat, round paratha. Be gentle to avoid the filling from spilling out.
Cook the Parathas
o Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the tawa. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip. Apply a little oil or ghee on both sides and cook until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
o Serve hot with yogurt, pickles, or chutney
