Alu Paratha
Ingredients:
Stuffing-
3-4 medium sized potatoes,
3 tsp jeera,
Juice of 1/2 lemon,
1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped,
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped,
2-3 tsp garam masala (as per taste),
Salt to taste
Cover-
1 cup wheat flour,
1 cup maida(sieved wheat flour),
1 tbsp ghee or oil,
Water.
Method:
Boil potatoes, peel them and mash them properly. In a bowl, put the mashed potatoes,add chopped green chilli, garam masala, salt and lemon juice. Mix properly and them add chopped coriander leaves. Mix this stuffing once again and keep aside.
Mix all the ingredients for the cover and knead the flour. Make small balls from the kneaded flour (little bigger than what you take for making rotis) and roll it to the size of a puri. Fill in enough stuffing and close and seal the puri, so that the stuffing does not come out. Now roll this ball, lightly to form paratha. Serve hot parathas with curd, butter, tomato ketchup, pickle or any chutney of your choice.
