Aloo Paratha (Potato Paratha)

Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.

1. 1Prepare the Dough• In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour and salt together. • Gradually add water and knead the mixture until it forms into a soft, pliable dough. • Cover the dough and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes.
2. 2Prepare the Filling• In another bowl, add the mashed potatoes. • Add the green chili, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and fresh coriander leaves. • Mix all the ingredients well until they are evenly combined.
3. 3Assemble the Paratha• Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. • Roll out one dough ball into a small circle, place a portion of the potato filling in the center, and fold the dough over the filling to seal it. • Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball, dust it with flour, and roll it out into a slightly thicker round shape, ensuring the filling is spread evenly.
4. 4Cook the Paratha• Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. • Place the rolled-out paratha onto the heated tawa. Cook it for about a minute, or until small bubbles appear. • Flip the paratha and smear ghee or butter over it. Flip again and apply ghee or butter on the other side. • Press gently using a spatula and cook until both sides are golden brown. • Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
5. 5Cook the Paratha• Serve your Aloo Parathas hot, ideally with yogurt, pickle, or a pat of butter on top. They also pair well with a hot cup of chai.
