Instructions
How to Prepare Homemade Aloo Paratha Dough:
1) In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups wheat flour, 2 Tbsp yogurt and a pinch of salt. Mix and knead into a crumbly dough texture.
2) Slowly add just enough water for the dough to come together and knead it until you have a soft, smooth dough.
3) Grease the dough with ghee, cover it, and set it aside for later.
How to Prepare Homemade Aloo Paratha Filling:
4) In a separate large bowl, mix 1 cup of boiled and mashed potatoes with 1/2 cup finely chopped onions, 1 Tbsp finely chopped green chilies, 2 Tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp red chili powder, 1/4 tsp coriander powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
5) Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly until evenly distributed.
How to Make Aloo Parathas:
6) Divide the dough into small portions, rolling each portion into a small 2 inch ball.
7) Take one of the dough balls, flatten it slightly, and roll it out to about 4 inches in diameter.
8) Place about 2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center of the rolled-out dough.
9) Carefully bring the edges of the dough to the center to seal the filling inside, forming a stuffed ball.
10) Gently flatten the stuffed ball and roll it out again to about 6-8 inches in diameter, taking care not to break and let the filling spill out.
11) Heat a tawa over medium heat. Place the flattened aloo paratha on the tawa and cook it for 1-2 minutes on one side.
12) Flip the paratha and add a little bit of ghee around the edges. Cook for 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.
13) Remove from the tawa and serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or your favorite chutney.
Enjoy!
