Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes, 1 cup mashed potatoes (aloo)
• 1 green chili, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/8 teaspoon red chili powder, or adjust to taste
• 3/4 teaspoon salt , or adjust to taste
• 3-4 teaspoons oil, to cook the paratha

Dough

• 1.5 cups atta | whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• water, to knead the dough

​

Make the dough

1. In a bowl mix together whole wheat flour (atta), oil and salt. Add water little by little and mix.
2. Knead to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 45-60 minutes.

Make the filling

1. To make the filling, mash the boiled potatoes.
2. Add salt, chopped green chili, cumin powder, garam masala powder and red chili powder.
3. Mix till everything is well combined. The stuffing is now ready.

Make the paratha

1. Take one of the dough balls and using your rolling pin roll it into a circle.
2. Place 2-3 tablespoons of stuffing in the center. Don't overfill else it will be difficult to roll.
3. Bring all the edges together and pinch to seal the edges.
4. Flatten the dough ball using your hands.
5. Now using your rolling pin, roll the dough until round shape. The trick here is to apply equal pressure while rolling. If you do that, your paratha will turn round automatically.
6. Transfer the rolled paratha onto the hot pan.
7. Cook the side for a minute or two and then flip over. Apply oil [around 1/4 teaspoon] on the half-cooked side and flip again.
8. Now apply oil on the other side as well. Cook the paratha till both sides have golden brown spots on them.
9. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
10. Serve aloo paratha hot.
