Aloo parantha ( potato stuffed flatbread)





Ingredients:
Potatoes - 3
wheat flour - 2 cups
water - 1/2 cup
salt - 2 tspn
chilli powder - 1 tspn
coriander leaves - 1/4th cup
Procedure:
boil potatoes. Peel the potato skin and mash it well. finely chop coriander leaves and add them to the potato mash. add salt 1tspn, chilli powder and mix well till it forms a paste.
in a bowl add wheat flour and salt 1 tspn . make a well in the center and add water. make a dough out of it. The dough shudnt be too soft. add more water if required.
There are two ways of making parantha.
Method 1:
Take a big ball of dough and press around to form a bowl. put the potato mash in it and close it around. put this in dry flour and make parantha/circles out of it using rolling pin. The amount of mash to be stuffed depends on the size of the dough ball. This method is sometimes tricky as the stuffing comes out while rolling and if more amount is put inside difficult to roll. It also leads to inconsistency of stuff across the flat bread.
But if once got to know the technique of it this would be easy. This is the most used method.
Method 2:
An easy way
Take a big ball of dough and make two balls out of it. roll both the balls to get circles. place one circle on a plate and spread the mash evenly across the chapati.place another chapati/circle on it and close the edges by pressing them.
This is the easiest method to make aloo parantha but it takes more time to prepare.
Once the parantha is prepared put it on a griddle and cook it on both sides.
you can spread butter/ghee on the parantha for increased flavour.
