Aloo Paratha / Spicy Potato Stuffed Indian Flatbread
- 125 g all-purpose or plain flour
- 100 ml water, plus a bit more if needed
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp olive or veg. oil
- 300 g potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1/4 onion, minced
- 3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro/coriander
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- to taste salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 green chili, finely chopped (optional for extra spice!)
- Make the dough: Mix flour, salt and oil in a bowl.
- Gradually add water and knead for about 5-10 minutes until you have a smooth dough.
- (if it's too sticky add a little flour, if too dry add a little water)
- Put dough in a bowl, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Make the filling: Add all the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix together well.
- Divide into 6 portions.
- Stuff the dough: Divide dough into 6 portions and roll into balls.
- On a floured board/surface, roll each ball into a 10 cm (4 in) circle.
- Put one portion of the filling mixture into the center of each ball.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center and seal it so the potato mixture is contained inside.
- Carefully press and roll each filled dough ball into a 15 cm (6 in) round flatbread.
- Just be careful not to roll to thin that the filling comes out!
- Heat a frying pan on medium heat.
- When ready to fry the paratha, brush one side with oil and put it in the pan.
- Brush the top with oil too.
- Fry the parathas in batches until both sides have browned spots on them (you need to flip over while frying).
- Serve with yoghurt!
