Aloo paratha

Aloo Paratha

Famous North Indian Breakfast dish....Very filling & leaves you Satisfied

I still remember how my Mom used to make us Aloo paratha on weekends....It Used to be Our Saturday breakfast specials....Well She still makes the Best Paratha...and we pleasurely eat it without counting calories when we visit...

Tricks I learnt from My Mom are....
Dough should be soft & must be rested before using
The potato mix should not be too soggy
Must be fried on slow heat, & lots of Ghee(My moms magic)

I dont use that much of ghee being health conscious, so here is my take on Aloo paratha

Ingredients:

For the Dough

Whole Wheat flour: 3 cups
Salt to taste
Oil: 3-4sps
Water: 1& 1/2 cups

For the Filling:

Boiled potatoes: 2 big size
Red chili powder: 2 tsps
Cumin powder: 1/2sp
Garam masala powder: 1sp
Coriender leaves: 1/2cup

Method:

Make a Soft Dough using Ata, salt Oil & water,(Can use food processor) 
Knead the dough & let it Rest for Good 10 min

Boil potatoes or Pressure cook for 2 visels
Peel the skins & mash it add all the other Ingredients under Filling
Mix well & shape to big lemon size balls 





For the dough, make little bigger balls than the filling
With the Use of your hands just make a poori pinching from sides
Place the filling in center & start closing the ends overlaping to form small poori

Press it then use ata  & roll it evenly without putting more pressure make Paratha
Place on hot griddle, Then make heat medium, Turn around after a minute
Apply 1sp Oil, then turn & apply oil to this side as well
(You can even apply ghee instead of Oil)
Cook again on Medium flame for a minute each side

Remove form heat & apply 2sps Ghee, Keep it in a Hot box
Try Not to fold it, Repeat the process for the Rest paratha
