Alu Paratha
Stuffed parathas can be made in many ways and with many kinds of vegetables. The above paratha is one of such item.
Ingredients:
atta(wheat flour)-3 cups,
Potato(cooked and mashed)-1 cup,
onion chopped-1/2 cup(optional),
chilli powder-1/2 tsp,
turmeric powder-1/4 tsp,
jeera powder-1/2 tsp,
pepper powder-1/4 tsp,
salt to taste,
oil-2 tsps and
ghee for roasting parathas.
Method:
Heat oil in a pan and fry the chopped onions to golden brown.
Put off the flame and add all the powders, cooked and mashed potato and salt and mix well(potato stuffing).
Knead atta to have smooth dough. Apply little ghee and knead again to make it more soft.
Make small balls out of it.
Roll one ball to make a round puri shape.
Keep 2 tsps full of the potato stuffing on the puri.
Make another puri and place it on the top of the stuffing.
Press with hands and seal it all around. It should be done carefully to ensure a properly sealed stuffing without any cracks forming.
Roll it slowly to form a thick chappathi.
Heat the chappathi pan and bring it to medium flame.
Put the paratha on the pan and cook for a minute and turn it to the other side.
Cook the other side also for a minute.
Turn again and sprinkle a little ghee all around and again cook a little.
Turn to the other side and sprinkle a little ghee and fry a little.
Paratha is ready. Transfer it to a plate.
Continue the process till all the dough/stuffing is done.
These parathas can be served with pickles, chundha, sauce or any other spicy chutney.
