Aloo paratha (Potato paratta)


Paratta has been my weakness. I never even thought i will make it one day. And now with this recipe it finds a place on our dinner table atleast once a week. I got it from another site, but like it so much would love u guys to give it a try. This is not the typical aloo paratha u get at restaurants, but it sure dows has that taste and its after all an easy recipe for all u lazy cooks.

3 Potato (medium)
4 cups whole wheat flour (any atta will do)
4 tbsp curd
2 tsp chilly / as u wish
2 tsp garam masala
salt to taste

Boil potatoes in microwave. Thats the easiest way to boil potatoes. Remove the skin and mash then. Add the flour to the mashed potatoes along with all other ingredients and make a smooth dough. If it doesnt form a dough try adding some water if ur dough is dry , or some flour if ur dough is watery.
Make large balls of the dough. Preferably the size of cricket balls. For those who dont know the size of cricket balls, make it the size of a baseball. If u r not a sports person try the size of a tomato..just having some fun..
Flatten the balls to round shape using a belan or a rolling pin, just like chapathi, but make it a bit thick. Now on a skillet fry them on both sides and then apply ghee and fry both sides again. Make sure that the paratha is cooked well before u take them. It might take a little while longer than chappathi. I prefer to make them thin, to avoid the disaster of burning it and not getting cooked. Any how it taste grt and best thing is u dont need to make a curry to go along. Have it alone or with curd and pickle.
Can be used as a breakfast dish or for dinner. For me, i can have it any time given curd and pickle..
