Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 3 medium Boiled potatoes
- 1 large Finely chopped onion
- 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)
- 0.75 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Add the yogurt and mix well.
Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and mash the boiled potatoes in another bowl.
Add the chopped onion, green chilies, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to form a uniform filling.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Take a dough ball, flatten it slightly, and place a portion of the potato filling in the center. Bring the edges together to enclose the filling and pinch to seal.
Gently roll the stuffed dough ball into a disc of about 6-7 inches, taking care to ensure that the stuffing does not spill out.
Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat and lightly grease with a few drops of oil.
Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until small bubbles appear.
Flip and cook the other side, drizzling a few more drops of oil around the edges, pressing lightly with a spatula.
Cook until both sides are golden brown with spots and fully cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
Serve the low-fat alu parathas hot with yogurt or pickle on the side.
