Bihari-style Aloo Paratha (बिहारी-स्टाइल आलू पराठा)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 4 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
  • Ghee or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with water to make a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and coriander leaves to make the stuffing.
  3. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a small disc. Place a portion of the potato stuffing in the center and seal the edges to form a stuffed ball.
  4. Roll out the stuffed ball into a flatbread, dusting with flour as needed.
  5. Heat a griddle or tawa and cook the paratha on both sides, applying ghee or oil until golden brown spots appear.
  6. Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing to make more parathas.
