paratha Recipe is Indian flat bread span made up of whole wheat dough stuffed with a spicy potato stuffing. Aloo paratha is a very famous North Indian recipe but its universal appeal has landed it in south India too and basically, now whole nation is enjoying this delicious aloo paratha flat bread Parathas, as such are difficult to categorize, as they can be served as breakfast or as bread with gravies. The problem is bigger with Aloo parathas. They can be served for breakfast, brunch, and lunch dinner. My husband loves to have aloo parathas with dal fry. I love it with some salad, green chutney, and chhachh, as shown in the picture.
Aloo parathas are nice guys. They give us a lot and don’t ask for much. Some basic spices and boiled potatoes and of course perfect paratha dough! The potatoes should also be perfect. As I made a separate post for the dough of paratha I wanted to make a separate post for perfect potatoes. However, that would have been too much so I’d better list the things to be taken care breakfast recipes
1. Prepare to stuff : In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups boiled and mashed potatoes, salt to taste, 1 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp garam masala powder, 1 tsp dry mango powder, 1 tsp finely chopped ginger and handful of finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well. Taste the stuffing. Add or less any ingredient as per your taste. Yes I wrote less, you may not reduce any ingredient but if the problem is major add more boiled potatoes and has more parathas.
2. Divide stuffing and dough into portions and shape them into balls : Divide the dough as well as potato mixture into portions. Depending upon the size of parathas you like, divide into 8-12 equal portions. Shape into balls. Flatten the dough balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for 15-20 minutes.
3. Stuff potato mixture in dough portions and roll : After resting, roll the dough ball slightly. Apply little-clarified butter. (The word “clarified butter” is not giving proper feel; we will use the word “ghee”). Put the stuffing. And seal it. Roll into a paratha of desired thickness.
4. Fry parathas : Put on a hot skillet. Cook on medium flame for 1-2 minutes. Flip. Apply GHEE. (Better now!). Flip and apply ghee on the other side too. Cook on a low to medium flame till both the sides are golden brown.
5. Brush some ghee and crush slightly : Take paratha on a perforated plate and apply little GHEE. Yes again!! Crush the paratha slightly.
6. Bon appétit : Serve it hot with hot masala tea or pack for tiffin with some tomato ketchup.
