Aloo Filling

• 1 medium sized Potato ~ Aloo boiled and mashed about ¾ cup

• 1 small Green Chili seeded and chopped
• 2 - 3 tablespoon chopped Coriander

• ½ - ¾ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste

Paratha

• ½ cup Atta / Durum Wheat Flour
• Pinch of Salt
• ¼ cup Water will need a little less
• 1 tablespoon of Oil or Butter or Ghee to cook paratha

Aloo Filling

• Boil potato, cool, peel and mash it well.

• Add all the ingredients listed under filling and mix well.

• Taste and adjust spices to taste.

Paratha Dough

• Take flour, pinch of salt in a wide bowl or a plate, mix together and make a pliable dough. You will need little less than ¼ cup of water.

• Knead well and keep aside until ready to use.

Aloo Paratha

• Divide potato filling and dough to three parts.

• Roll out dough into a small disc.

• Place one part of potato filling in the middle of rolled dough and cover the stuffing with rolled dough.

• Dust some flour on a flat surface and roll stuffed dough into a disc. Roll it as thin or thick as you like. Mine were a little thinner than I would prefer.

• Heat a pan and cook paratha for a minute or two on medium flame, flip and cook for few more seconds until bottom browns.

• Drizzle some oil or ghee around paratha and cook rotating it for evening cooking.

• Flip again, drizzle some oil and cook rotating paratha until flipped side browns and cooked.

• Remove from pan and place in a covered dish.

• Repeat above steps to prepare other two parathas.

• Serve hot with some yogurt and/or lime pickle.

• Adjust spices to taste and play around with the spices. For a variation try garam masala and chaat masala.
• I really stuffed my paratha well with aloo. If you prefer less stuffing, use less.
