Delicious & Easy to make Aloo Paratha

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: 

- Combine wheat flour and salt in a large bowl.

- Add water gradually and knead until a smooth and soft dough is formed. Cover it and keep it aside for about 20-30 minutes.

2. Prepare the stuffing:

- In another bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, garam masala, coriander leaves, and salt. Mix well so that everything is evenly distributed.

3. Assemble the paratha:

- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.

- Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it into a small circle (about 4-5 inches in diameter).

- Place a generous amount of potato filling in the center.

- Bring the edges of the dough over the filling and press them together to seal.

Gently flatten the filled ball and then carefully roll it into a larger circle (approximately 7-8 inches in diameter), ensuring that the filling does not fall out.

4. Cook the Parathas:

- Heat a griddle or pan on medium-high flame.

- Place the rolled paratha on the hot griddle and cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles start to appear.

- Flip the paratha and apply some ghee or oil on the cooked side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

- Flip again and apply ghee or oil on the other side. Cook until it becomes crispy and golden brown.

5. Serve:

- Remove the paratha from the griddle and serve hot with yogurt, pickle, and salad.
