Aloo paratha

Aloo paratha with butter is a family favourite. But for some strange reason, I don't make it as often as I could. Here's my favourite version.

For the dough:

2 cups wholewheat flour/ atta

Salt to taste

For the stuffing:

3 medium potatoes (one per person is a thumb rule that works)

1/2 medium onion

1 green chilli

a few sprigs of coriander leaves

1/3 tsp red chilli powder

1/3 tsp jeera powder

Salt to taste

Ghee/ oil to cook

Method:
Make the dough, and keep aside for about 30 minutes. Ensure that the dough is neither too dry, not too sticky.
Cut the potatoes into 8 pieces. Pressure cook, peel and mash.
Chop the onions, green chillis, and coriander leaves very fine. Add to mashed potatoes with the dry spices and mix well.
Divide the dough into 6 equal sized balls. Roll each one into a 6 inch disc. Place the stuffing in the centre, and pull the edges together, join and press down to get a flatish disc. After gently removing all the air pockets, roll it out to get a regular sized paratha- roll along the edges, to ensure the shape is circular.
Heat a tawa, place the paratha on it, drizzle ghee/ oil along the sides, and cook on a low flame till browned. Flip over and cook the other side.
Serve hot with a dollop of butter, and curds/ raita.
