How to make aloo paratha
1. To the wheat flour, add water little at a time and knead. Knead the flour well to form a soft dough. Adjust the water accordingly. The dough should not stick to the hand. If it sticks add the little flour to make them perfect. Then leave that on the kitchen counter for about half an hour. The parathas will stay softer if they are allowed for the resting time. But however, it can also be made immediately after kneading. Dust flour in the rolling pin and the pad. Make a round flat bread with the help of the rolling pin.
2. Boil and peel the potatoes. Mash them up gently, so that no lumps are seen. In a pan, add 2 tsp of cooking oil, followed by the mashed up potatoes. Then add chili powder, coriander powder and cumin powder and salt. Keep sauteing it till they become a tight masala. Keep them aside till they bring down to the room temperature. Once they are cooled divide them into equal sized portions. I ended up in getting around 12 masala potato balls of the same size. Keep the potato balls in the center of the add the masala in the center.
3. Make small frills and start wrapping up the masala ball with the dough.
4. Seal them perfectly by making the dough sticks well.
5. Dust them with flour and pat it gently with the hands. And using a rolling pin, gently press to for circles.
6. Dust it with flour whenever it is necessary. Make sure the masala spreads evenly for the entire circle.
7. Heat flat tawa over the stove, in medium to high flame. Spread the rolled down dough evenly over the tawa. Drizzle a little oil on both the sides. Cook them until, black spots seen on each side.
8. Serve hot with raitha, curd and vegetable salad.

I love to have paratha in the breakfast. We all love it.
But in winters I like it most with hot tea and mango pickle.
You can also have this with malai (cream on top of the cold milk). You will like it. Just add little more spices in it to balance the taste.
