Delicious Aloo Paratha with Spiced Potato Filling

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and mix well.

2.Gradually add water, kneading the mixture until it forms a soft and pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

3.In another bowl, mix the boiled and mashed potatoes with cumin seeds, garam masala, red chili powder, coriander powder, chopped cilantro, and green chili (if using). Mix well to combine all the spices evenly with the potatoes.

4.Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, about the size of a golf ball. Do the same with the potato filling, making sure each ball is slightly smaller than the dough balls.

5.Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly. Place a potato filling ball in the center and fold the edges of the dough over the filling, sealing it completely.

6.Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball with your fingers, then roll it out on a floured surface into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Be careful not to let the filling spill out.

7.Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out paratha on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface.

8.Flip the paratha and apply ghee or butter on the cooked side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then flip again and apply ghee on the other side.

9.Remove the paratha from the skillet and keep it warm in a container lined with a cloth. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

10.Serve the hot aloo parathas with yogurt, pickles, or your favorite chutney.
