Aaloo Paratha

Preparation: 
To prepare the stuffing :

  2. Peel the potato cover and cut them into small pieces. 
  3. Heat the oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. 
  4. Add chopped green chilies.
  5. Then add ginger-garlic paste.
  6. When mustard seed splutter, add finely shopped onion. Saute it till becomes golden brown. Then add turmeric powder.
  7. Now add cut potatoes and saute for a while. Try to mash them with spatula so that they make a soft mixture and wont break while rolling parathas.
  8. Cover the pan with lid and let it cook on a low flame for another 5 minutes.
  9. Switch off the flame.
To Prepare dough :
  1. Take all ingredients from above (For cover dough), dry mix them  and knead the dough. Make sure dough is not too soft otherwise it will be difficult to roll parathas.
  2. Let the dough sit for half an hour to one hour preferably in a refrigerator. 
Making parathas : 
  1. Make small round balls of dough (like we take for chapati), press them with palm and make a small round. 
  2. Fill in the stuffing and bring all sides together and seal it properly.
  3. Now roll the paratha with rolling pin with the help of little flour. 
  4. Cook the paratha on a hot tawa (griddle) using oil or ghee. 
  5. Serve hot with curd, pudina chutney etc.
