👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add lukewarm water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Add ghee or oil and knead for another minute. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- 2
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, fresh coriander, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, amchur (if using), and salt. Mix well. Ensure the mixture is not too wet.
💡 Consigli Professionali: You can lightly toast the cumin seeds before adding for more flavor. - 3
Prepare the mint chutney: In a blender or food processor, combine mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chili, garlic, yogurt, salt, and lemon juice (if using). Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- 4
Divide the dough into equal portions (e.g., 4-6 balls). Roll each ball into a small disc.
- 5
Take one dough disc, flatten it, and place a portion of the potato filling in the center. Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, forming a sealed ball.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Don't overfill the paratha, or it will be difficult to seal and roll. - 6
Gently flatten the stuffed ball with your hands, then roll it out into a thin circle (about 6-7 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot griddle and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until light golden spots appear.

Drizzle ghee or oil around the edges and on top of the paratha. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and crisp. Repeat for all parathas.

Serve hot Aloo Parathas with the prepared mint chutney, yogurt, or pickles.
