The Tasty Tasty Aaloo Parata @ home

I love aaloo parata. I have not seen a single person who don't like aaloo parata in my friends circle. So here is the simple steps to make tasty aaloo parata.

Things you require to prepare aaloo parata is as below.

S. No	Items Required	Quantity
1	Whole wheat/aatta	2 cups
2	Water	1 1/4 cups
3	Salt	as required
4	aaloo	3
5	Green chilli	2
6	Coriander leaves	handful (finely chopped)
7	fennel seeds	1 tsp
8	Cumin Powder	1/2 tsp
9	Coriander powder	1 tsp
10	Salt	as required

Make soft dough same as for chapathi. For more details refer to my post "Beginners guide :- How to knead the perfect dough for chapathi". Make balls of dough similar to the size of a lemon and keep aside.

Pressure cook the potatos until smooth and peel off the skin and mash it in a bowl. Add finely chopped green chilly, salt, coriander leaves, fennal seeds, cumin powder and coriander powder to the mashed aaloo and mix well. Now your stuffing for the parata is ready.

Now take the small balls of dough and make a hole in the middle. Now fill the above stuffing in this and seal it properly. Roll it out very carefully and in between dip the parata to the extra wheat flour to avoid sticking. Make sure that the sealed part is always on the top.

Heat the tawa and keep the paratta on it. When you find small bubbles gets formed on the parata just turned it with the help of a stick and apply oil.

Press the parata with the stick and cook it till its done. Remove from tawa and place it in a kitchen tissue paper. 

Have this tasty aallo parata with curd, achar or sauce according to your taste. So girls, prepare this at home, eat healthy and save money. 

Tips:-

Don't fill too much stuffing in the dough.
