How to Make Alu Paratha Mashed Potato Stuffed Bread

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Assemble the parathas: Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 5 inches in diameter).
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve: Serve hot Alu Parathas with plain yogurt, raita, or your favorite Indian pickle. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint.
  8. (Optional) For an extra flavorful experience, sprinkle your yogurt with dried mint and chili flakes.
