How To Make Aloo Paratha?
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes (boiled and mashed)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
Water (for kneading dough)
Ghee or oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough: Start by mixing the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Slowly add water and knead the dough until it’s smooth and soft. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.
2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, mash the boiled potatoes and add the cumin seeds, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix well and adjust the seasoning if needed.
3. Roll Out the Parathas: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll one ball into a small disc, place a spoonful of the potato mixture in the center, and carefully seal the dough around it. Gently roll it out into a round paratha, being careful not to let the filling spill out.
4. Cook the Parathas: Heat a tawa or flat pan over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the pan and cook until bubbles form. Flip it over, drizzle some ghee or oil on both sides, and cook until golden brown and crispy.
Aloo Paratha pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides like yogurt, pickle, or a refreshing salad. The balance of spices in the potato filling gives it a burst of flavor, and the crispy, golden crust is the perfect texture contrast. This recipe is a family favorite that will surely bring joy to your kitchen!
Enjoy your homemade Aloo Parathas with your favorite sides, and remember, the best meals are those shared with friends and family. Don’t forget to experiment with different spices and ingredients to personalize your Aloo Paratha. Happy cooking, Lykkers!
