Punjabi Aloo Paratha

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with water to make a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and fresh coriander leaves to make the filling.
  3. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a small disc. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center and seal the edges to form a stuffed ball.
  4. Roll out the stuffed ball into a flatbread, using some dry flour to prevent sticking.
  5. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook the paratha on both sides, applying ghee or oil until golden brown spots appear.
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling to make more parathas.
  7. Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
