Aloo Paratha With Tips For Every Possible Failure Recipe by Priyangi Pujara
Cooking Instructions 1 Preparation: boil potatoes (tip: ensure not to overcook them or else the stuffing will be too wet), peel and mash them. Chop onions finely. Dry roast cinnamon and cloves till they spread aroma. Pound them to make powder. Make Curry leaves and green chillies paste. 2 Heat oil in a pan and fry onion till they are translucent. Add green chillies and curry leaves paste, cinnamon-cloves powder, sesame seeds, garam masala and salt. Fry a bit. Then add carrot/beet, lemon juice and sugar. Fry till the moisture from carrot/beet is totally burnt. Add mashed potatoes and mix well. Cook for a minute or till the spices are well blended. Add coriander, mix again and remove from heat. 3 Add 2 tbsp oil and some salt in the wheat flour. Mix well and make semi soft dough(little harder than for roti) using water. Knead well, cover and keep aside for 20 minutes. Knead again and make it smooth. Make 9 equal size portions. Make 11 equal portions from the potato stuffing. 4 Take a portion of dough and start rolling. Use wheat flour dusting as and when required. Rill it JUST as big as can fit and cover the stuffing ball. Pull the edges together, press as the top part of the stuffing and gently pinch out the extra dough. 5 Spread the lump at the middle gently so as to make the surface even by spreading out the lump. Gently roll paratha using dusting, as thin as possible without cracking and tearing the paratha. (Tip: ensure not to keep it too thick) 6 Heat a pan moderately. Gently place the paratha on it. flip it over when you see the bubbles forming on the surface. Apply oil and flip it again. Apply oil on the other side. Cook on both the sides by gently pressing the parathas all around. Pressing will help paratha to puff and cook evenly. Serve hot with tomato ketchup. 7 TIP 1 : Reasons for breaking of paratha while rolling...1. stuffing is too wet due to overcooked potatoes or due to unburnt moisture from carrot/beet. 2.
