Aloo Paratha - Stuffed Potato Wraps

All of us have our own comfort food and Aloo (Potato) Paratha (Wrap) is my ultimate comfort food. It requires very few ingredients and is a snap to prepare. You can even prepare them in bulk and freeze them for future use. It is also very versatile as a ‘to-go’ meal. You can just roll the wrap in some aluminum foil and eat them in the car.


Ingredients

Potato - 2 large boiled
Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Cumin Seeds - 1 tbsp
Green Chilies - 4 thinly sliced and chopped
Cilantro - ¼ cup finely chopped
Salt - ½ tsp
Turmeric Powder - ¼ tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp



Directions

  • Boil and mash the potato and keep aside. Make sure that there are no lumps.
  • Add cumin seeds, green chilies, cilantro, turmeric powder and salt to the mashed potato and mix well.
  • Add water and 1 Tbsp oil to the Wheat flour and knead into a soft dough
  • Let it rest for at least 30 minutes
  • Make small ping-pong size balls of the dough and roll it out into a small circle
  • You can dust the surface and the rolling pin with some flour so that it doesn’t stick
  • Place 1 tbsp of potato filling in the center and fold all the corners to make a ball with the stuffing inside.
  • Roll it out again gently into 6 inch (diameter) paratha
  • Roast in a hot griddle. Fry one side for a minute and then turn over and brush some oil. Repeat the same for the other side.
  • Serve hot with pickles or yogurt.
