Aalu paratha

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a bowl, combine 3 cups wheat flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp carom seeds (ajwain).

Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough.

Cover and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Stuffing

Boil 1 kg medium-sized potatoes with 1½ glasses of water for 2 whistles in a pressure cooker.

Once cooled, peel and grate the potatoes for a smooth texture.

Blend 8–10 green chilies, 2 inches ginger, and a few curry leaves into a paste.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add 1 tsp cumin seeds.

Add the prepared green paste and sauté on low flame.

Mix in 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp coriander powder, and 1 tsp salt.

Add the grated potatoes and mix well using a potato masher.

Stir in freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Spread the stuffing on a plate and let it cool completely before using.

Step 3: Make the Parathas

Take a portion of dough and fill it with an equal amount of the potato stuffing.

Seal and roll it into a paratha, flipping it halfway to roll evenly.

Cook on a hot tawa over medium-high heat.

Apply about 1 tsp oil or ghee and cook until both sides are golden brown and the paratha puffs up.

Serve hot with curd, chutney, butter, or pickle.
