Aloo Paratha

Ingredients:

Dough:

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup water (Use more as needed)
Pinch of salt

Potato Filling
2 medium potatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (Jeera)
1 chopped green chili
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (green coriander)
1/2 teaspoon garam masala (optional)


Also needed
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour for rolling
Oil to cook

Method:

Dough:
1.Mix flour, salt and water together to make soft dough (if the dough is hard add a little more water). I like        mixing the dough by hand.

2.Knead the dough for a few minutes on a lightly greased surface to make smooth and pliable dough.
3.Set the dough aside and cover it with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes.

Filling:
1.Boil 2 medium potatoes ,peel the skin off and mash the potatoes.

2.Mix green chilies, cilantro, cumin seeds and salt to the mashed potatoes.

Making paratha:
1.Divide the dough and potato mixture into equal parts. The potato balls should be about 1 1/2 times larger    than the dough balls.
2.Roll the dough into circles. Place the potato balls in the center. Seal by pulling the edges of the rolled               dough together to make a ball.
3.Let them settle for 3 to 4 minutes before rolling them.
4.Heat the skillet on medium high. Note: An iron skillet works best.

5.Place the paratha over the skillet. After a few seconds you will see the
   paratha change color and puff in different places.

6.Cook on both sides .
Now aloo paratha is ready to serve
Tastes better with curd.
