How to Make Alu Paratha Mashed Potato Stuffed Bread
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Gradually add water (about 3/4 cup), mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: Boil 2 medium potatoes until tender. Mash well. Add 1 teaspoon roasted cumin seeds, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste), and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly.
- Assemble the parathas: Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 5 inches in diameter).
- Fill and seal: Place a spoonful of the mashed potato filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges together, pinching tightly to form a dumpling. Gently roll out the dumpling into a slightly thinner circle (about 6-7 inches in diameter).
- Cook the parathas: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the hot surface.
- Cook both sides: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and slightly crispy edges. Apply a little more oil if needed.
- Serve: Serve hot Alu Parathas with plain yogurt, raita, or your favorite Indian pickle. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint.
- (Optional) For an extra flavorful experience, sprinkle your yogurt with dried mint and chili flakes.
