Aloo r Parotha

Aloo Paratha is a stuffed Paratha which is a favourite breakfast in the Northern states of India. It is usually served with curd/ yogurt and pickle. Its the most popular paratha among all stuffed ones made.

Google says Aloo Paratha is a shallow fried Indian bread stuffed with a potato mix.

Ingredients :

Refined Flour (Maida)...................................................2 cups

Potato (Aloo).................................................................2 large size

Salt...............................................................................as per taste

Sugar.............................................................................1 tsp

Spice Mix (Bhaja Masala)...............................................as required

Mango Powder (Aamchur powder).................................1 tsp

Fresh Green Coriander (Dhonepata)................................4 tbsp

Green Chilly (Kancha Lanka)......................................... 2-3
Refined Oil (Sada Tel)....................................................as required

To make My style Aloo Stuffing :

Boil the potatoes and peel. While still hot mash very well and mix salt, sugar, spice mix, very finely chopped green chilly, fresh green coriander and mango powder.

To make the spice mix,  dry roast 2 tbsp cumin seeds, 2 tbsp coriander seeds and 2 dry red chilly's together on low flame till golden and then grind to a fine powder.

The potato stuffing needs to be very smooth or else the stuffing will burst out of the paratha.

For The Dough :

Seive the flour with salt and then add 2-3 tbsp refined oil. With the help of water, knead to a very soft and
smooth dough. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and keep aside.

Divide the stuffing and the dough into equal parts and keep ready.                
 

Take a part of the dough and with your hand make a small bowl shape with the dough to put the filling in it.

Put the filling in the dough bowl. Close the bowl, cover the fillling fully and seal. Seal properly so that the stuffing does not come out.

Now take a rolling pin. Flatten the dough balls and roll out into a round paratha .

Heat a griddle/tawa, place the aloo filled paratha in it and cook both sides on low heat till golden then add 1 tbsp of oil and fry the paratha on one side.
When one side turns golden, turn it on the other side and spread oil and fry the side.
When both sides are golden remove and serve hot immediately .
I serve with a curry, curd, pickle and some cold juice / hot tea.
