Parathas

Aaloo Paratha:

One of my favourite dishes. Hope you will love it too:)



















































Ingredients:

For the stuffing:

• 6 to 7 potatoes boiled and mashed
• 1 bunch cilantro finely chopped
• 1/2 bunch mint leaves finely chopped
• 1/4 th tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 8 to 9 green chillies finely chopped
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 2 tsp oil
• salt, sugar and lemon juice to taste

Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter, then add green chillies, potatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, sugar and lemon juice and mix them well. Keep the heat on till the mixture is heated through.

Once the mixture cools down add in the coriander and mint leaves and mix well.


For the dough:
3 cups plain flour
salt to taste
water



Knead a medium soft dough using flour, salt and water and keep aside for 15 minutes. Then divide it into 8 to 10 equal sized balls.


To make the parathas:

Place the balls onto a lightly floured surface and flatten with a rolling pin into a round disc (approximately 4" in diameter).Place a portion of the filling in the middle, then fold the filling and pinch off the excess dough to seal off the edges.Flatten again with a rolling pin and roll till it is approximately 6-8" in diameter.
Place the paratha on a heated pan and cook for a minute on one side. Now, turn over to the other side. Apply melted butter or oil on the cooked surface. Also spoon melted butter or oil all around and shallow fry both sides over low heat until golden brown.Remove and serve hot with yogurt.
