Aloo Paratha

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt for the dough. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft and smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

2.In the meantime, prepare the potato filling. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

3.Add the chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

4.Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a minute.

5.Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and mix everything together. Cook for a few minutes until the flavors are well combined. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool.

6.Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a small disc. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of the disc.

7.Bring the edges of the disc towards the center to seal the filling completely. Dust with flour and gently roll out each stuffed ball into a flat round paratha.

8.Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the tawa and cook until it turns golden brown spots on both sides, applying ghee or oil as needed.

9.Remove the cooked paratha from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

10.Serve the hot Aloo Paratha with a dollop of butter, yogurt, or your favorite chutney.
