Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 medium Boiled potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 optional Green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by preparing the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add 0.75 cups of water while kneading the flour to form a smooth and pliable dough. Adjust the water quantity as needed.
Once the dough is ready, drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over it, knead for another minute, and let it rest, covered, for about 15 minutes.
In the meantime, peel and mash the boiled potatoes in another mixing bowl.
Finely chop the onion and mix it with the mashed potatoes.
Add chopped coriander leaves, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, chopped green chili, and salt to the potato-onion mixture. Mix well to create a uniform stuffing.
Divide the dough and the stuffing into equal portions, aiming for about 4 portions of each.
Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and place a portion of the stuffing in the center.
Gather the edges of the dough, bringing them to the center to seal the stuffing, and gently flatten it with your hand.
Using a rolling pin, roll the stuffed dough into a flat circle of approximately 6 inches in diameter, applying gentle pressure to avoid tearing.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the rolled paratha onto the skillet. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form.
Flip the paratha and cook on the other side until golden brown spots appear, about 1-2 minutes.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough and stuffing portions.
Serve the low-fat aloo pyaz parathas hot with yogurt or a side of pickle.
