How to make aloo paratha

Aloo Paratha-steps and procedures

1. Add water, a little at a time, to the wheat flour 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 a 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 resting time. However, it can also be made immediately after kneading—dust flour in the rolling pin and the pad. Make a round flatbread with the help of the rolling pin.

2. Boil and peel the potatoes. Mash them up gently so that no lumps are seen. Add 2 teaspoon of cooking oil in a pan, followed by the mashed potatoes. Then add red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt.

Keep sauteing it till it becomes a tight masala. Keep them aside till they bring down to room temperature. Once they are cooled, divide them into equal-sized portions. I ended up 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.

    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.
