Aloo Paratha

Aloo paratha has been a fav since childhood. The taste of potatoes pleases our taste buds in many forms, parathas being one of the usuals. No wonder it's called the king of vegetables. There are, like other recipes, variations in the preparation of Aloo Parathas. One of the easiest way of preparing the filling is to mash boiled potatoes, add salt, jeera powder, chilli powder to mashed potatoes. And another form is this entry.

Ingredients
2 cups wheat flour
2-3 potatoes - boiled & mashed
1/2 cup green peas
3-4 green chillies - chopped
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Salt
Cooking oil
Water

Preparation
  • Add wheat flour and salt in a container, make it to dough adding water.
  • If you are using fresh green peas, boil them. If using frozen green peas, put them in a container few minutes prior to preparation.
  • Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan.
  • Add chopped green chillies and saute.
  • Then add turmeric powder, mashed potatoes, salt and green peas. Mix them well, turn off heat.
  • Flatten a portion of dough, fill with a portion of aloo mix & round it up.
  • Flatten filled dough with rolling pin.
  • Cook the paratha applying oil on both sides.

Serve with curd, chutney or any side dishes. Twitter Facebook Delicious Stumble Digg It! Technorati

This is Aloo Mutter Paratha :)
I've tried both versions. Jeera powder version as well the one you've posted. Love it any way :)

Well Varun, it's not exactly Aloo Mutter paratha; because the flavor/taste is about Aloo. Amount of peas added is just to give a tinge of it and not for the taste of peas.. The show is still Aloo's :)

Yeah, I love them too.
