Aloo Paratha Step by Step Pic Demo


Aloo paratha Potato stuffed Paratha is a filling breakfast much needed breakfast as gives all day energy

North Indian or South Indian Aloo paratha is loved equally by all as this is a tasty morning treat served with fresh Yogurt


Here are the tricks I learnt from My Mom to make softest Aloo parathas 
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(Mom's touch)

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
Salt to taste



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
