Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 medium Boiled and mashed potatoes
- 1 cup Spinach leaves, finely chopped
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and slowly add water. Knead it into a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes with finely chopped spinach, onion, green chili, coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and place a tablespoon of the potato mixture in the center. Gently bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside.
Lightly dust with whole wheat flour and roll out the stuffed dough ball into a paratha of about 6-7 inches in diameter, taking care to avoid the filling from spilling out.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add a few drops of olive oil and spread it with a spatula.
Place the paratha on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on one side, or until golden brown spots appear.
Flip the paratha, add a few more drops of olive oil, and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until it is evenly cooked and golden.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls and filling mixture.
Serve the heart-healthy alu paratha warm with low-fat yogurt or a fresh cucumber and tomato salad.
