This is a flatbread made of whole wheat flour, which is stuffed with a potato filling and cooked until golden brown. This aloo paratha is a delicious and versatile dish, which we can have any time of the day. This is a complete meal in itself. this tastes great when served with raita or pickle. This is a perfect lunch box meal for kids. Potato is very filling as it is high in carbs.
I make this often as my daughter likes it a lot. Street vendors in India sell these aloo parathas along with a big chunk of butter or curd on the side. We can add mint, coriander leaves, ginger- garlic paste in the stuffing but I made it simple. Hope you may like this. Try this out and let me know.
Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat Flour- 2 Cups
- Oil- 2 tbsp
- salt- as required
- Water - to knead
For the stuffing:
- Potatoes (boiled and peeled)- 3 nos
- Carom Seeds/ Ajwain- 1 tbsp
- Red Chili Powder- 1 tbsp
- Salt- as required
- Finely Chopped Coriander Leaves(optional)- 2-3 tbsp
Method:
- Knead the whole wheat flour along with oil, salt and required amount of water till it forms a soft, smooth dough. Keep this aside.
- Meanwhile make the stuffing by mashing the boiled potatoes along with carom seeds, red chili powder, chopped coriander leaves and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Make small balls out of the dough and roll them with a rolling pin into circular discs.
- Place a 2 tbsp of the potato filling in the center of the disc and wrap the stuffing by lifting all the sides of the dough into a ball and roll them again using a rolling pin slowly or else the stuffing will come out.
- Place it on a hot tawa or a nonstick pan and cook on medium flame. Spread a tbsp of oil on both sides of the paratha and cook till both the sides turn golden brown.
- Enjoy hot aloo parathas with curd.
