How to prepare for Aloo ka Paratha –
1. Boil potatoes and let the cool in a strainer.
2. Finely chop onions and keep spices ready.
3. Knead the whole wheat flour and let it rest.
How to make Aloo ka Paratha at home –
Mash, boiled potatoes, add the suggested spices along with onion, green chilli and fresh coriander. Mix everything well. Keep the stuffing aside.
Knead a soft dough. Let it rest for some time.
Make equal sized balls, fill the stuffing, roll into 6 inch diameter.
Cook on both sides till done, with oil or ghee.
Things to keep in mind while making Aloo ka Paratha –
1. The potatoes should be boiled yet firm. Over boiled and mushy potatoes will spill out of the dough, making it difficult to roll.
2. Let the potatoes cooled down before preparing the stuffing.
3. The dough should be soft and pliable, soft dough is easy to roll out and contain the stuffing well.
4. Rest the dough for at least 30 mins, before rolling the parathas. It makes the dough softer and pliable.
5. Cook parathas on a heavy bottom curved iron tawa for best results.
6. Maintain the temperature of tawa while cooking paratha. Cook on a high flame on both sides and then apply ghee and cook on a low flame to get a crispy texture.
7. Apply ghee, turn the paratha and press it using the spatula to get the crispy texture. Make sure the flame is low at this time.
8. Although the ghee ix recommended to make perfect Punjabi parathas, but if you are looking for a vegan aloo paratha recipe, replace ghee with oil.
