  • Cook TIME
    20 minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon amchur powder (dried mango powder)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • Salt to taste
  • Water (as needed to knead the dough)
  • Ghee or oil for cooking
  • Curd and pickle for serving
Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead until you achieve a smooth, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

  2. In another mixing bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes with cumin seeds, garam masala, red chili powder, amchur powder, chopped cilantro, grated ginger, and salt. Mix well until you have a uniform filling.

  3. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly and place a generous spoonful of the potato filling in the center.

  4. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal completely. Gently flatten the stuffed ball, then roll it out into a circle, ensuring the filling remains intact.

  5. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out paratha on the surface. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown spots appear.

  6. Flip the paratha and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side. Once it turns golden brown, flip again and cook for an additional minute.

  7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a covered container. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.

  8. Serve the hot Aloo Parathas with cool curd and tangy pickle on the side.
