Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 3 medium Boiled potatoes
- 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 4 tablespoons Ghee or oil for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them well in a large bowl ensuring there are no lumps.
Add chopped green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, garam masala, cumin seeds, red chili powder, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix the ingredients well to evenly distribute the spices.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Take a dough ball and flatten it slightly. Dust it with some dry flour and roll it out into a small disc of about 4 inches in diameter.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center of the disc. Gather the edges of the disc to enclose the filling and pinch to seal.
Gently flatten the filled dough ball and roll it out evenly into a 6-inch diameter circle. Be careful not to let the filling spill out.
Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha on the tawa.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the paratha over and apply about 1 teaspoon of ghee or oil on the cooked surface. Likewise, cook the other side until golden brown.
Flip again, apply oil or ghee, and cook until both sides are crisp and golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
Serve the hot alu parathas with yogurt, pickle, or butter.
