Ingredients

Aloo Filling

  • 1 medium sized Potato ~ Aloo boiled and mashed about ¾ cup
  • ¼ cup chopped Onion
  • 1 small Green Chili seeded and chopped
  • 2 - 3 tablespoon chopped Coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon Chili Powder adjust to taste
  • ¾ teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Roasted Cumin Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Amchoor Powder
  • teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • ½ - ¾ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste

Paratha

  • ½ cup Atta / Durum Wheat Flour
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ¼ cup Water will need a little less
  • 1 tablespoon of Oil or Butter or Ghee to cook paratha

Instructions

Aloo Filling

  • Boil potato, cool, peel and mash it well.
  • Add all the ingredients listed under filling and mix well.
  • Taste and adjust spices to taste.

Paratha Dough

  • Take flour, pinch of salt in a wide bowl or a plate, mix together and make a pliable dough. You will need little less than ¼ cup of water.
  • Knead well and keep aside until ready to use.

Aloo Paratha

  • Divide potato filling and dough to three parts.
  • Roll out dough into a small disc.
  • Place one part of potato filling in the middle of rolled dough and cover the stuffing with rolled dough.
  • Dust some flour on a flat surface and roll stuffed dough into a disc. Roll it as thin or thick as you like. Mine were a little thinner than I would prefer.
  • Heat a pan and cook paratha for a minute or two on medium flame, flip and cook for few more seconds until bottom browns.
  • Drizzle some oil or ghee around paratha and cook rotating it for evening cooking.
  • Flip again, drizzle some oil and cook rotating paratha until flipped side browns and cooked.
  • Remove from pan and place in a covered dish.
  • Repeat above steps to prepare other two parathas.
  • Serve hot with some yogurt and/or lime pickle.

Notes

  • Adjust spices to taste and play around with the spices. For a variation try garam masala and chaat masala.
  • I really stuffed my paratha well with aloo. If you prefer less stuffing, use less.
