Aloo paratha is a popular Indian breakfast bread and snack made with whole-wheat dough stuffed with a filling of boiled potatoes, cumin, and fresh cilantro, then cooked in a buttered skillet. Unlike layered flatbread, it is filled, making it both filling and quick to prepare.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the Dough

5 min

Knead the whole-wheat flour with the salt and water into a smooth, medium-firm dough. Cover and set aside.

2

Make the Filling

5 min

Mash the boiled potatoes well and mix them with the cumin, cilantro, green chile, and ginger. Add salt to taste.

3

Fill and roll

8 min

Pinch off portions of dough and place some potato filling inside. Seal the dough and gently roll it into a round on a floured surface.

4

Cook in a Skillet

10 min

Cook the parathas in a preheated skillet, brushing each side with butter, until golden-brown spots appear.

Reminder

Do not knead the dough for too long; knead only until it holds together, or it may become tough. Preheat the skillet, or the paratha may turn dry without developing bubbles on the surface. Contains wheat/gluten and dairy (butter).

Tavayı yeterince ısıtmadan pişirmeye başladım, tarifte 10 dakika yazıyordu ama benim parathalarım 10 dakikada bile üzerinde hiç kabarcık oluşmadı, kuru ve sert kaldı; bir dahakine tavayı daha uzun ısıtacağım.

Yeşil biber bulamadığım için tarifte önerildiği gibi kırmızı toz biberle değiştirdim, bir tutam kullandım; acılık çok daha yumuşak oldu ve çocuklarım bile yiyebildi, bir dahaki sefere de böyle yapacağım.
