Aloo Paratha

Aloo Paratha is a delicious Indian flatbread stuffed with spicy mashed potatoes, offering a perfect balance of flavors and textures. This vegan delight is often enjoyed with yogurt or pickles and is a popular choice for breakfast.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100-120 ml
• Potatoes - 300 grams
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Oil - for cooking (optional)

Steps

1. Boil the potatoes until soft, then peel and mash them in a bowl.
2. In the mashed potatoes, add cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well to combine.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 4 balls). Take one ball and flatten it slightly.
5. Roll out the flattened dough into a small disc, then place a portion of the potato filling in the center.
6. Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal it. Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball.
7. Roll out the stuffed dough ball carefully into a larger disc, ensuring the filling doesn't spill out.
8. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Cook the paratha for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side, adding a little oil if desired.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
10. Serve hot with vegan yogurt or pickle.
