Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Oil for the dough
- 1 cup Water approximately, as needed for kneading
For the Potato Filling
- 3 Potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 handful Fenugreek Leaves methi, fresh
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese crumbled
- 1/2 tsp Garlic finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Chili finely chopped, green
- 1 pinch Asafoetida hing
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder or to taste, red
- 1-2 tsp Chaat Masala
- 2 tbsp Oil for cooking the paratha
Instructions
Prepare the Methi (Fenugreek) Mixture
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add the chopped green chilies, garlic, and asafoetida. Sauté until the garlic turns light brown. Add the fenugreek leaves and salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leaves wilt.
Prepare the Potato Filling
- Mash the boiled potatoes well. Add the crumbled paneer, cooked fenugreek mixture, chaat masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water and oil, kneading to form a soft, pliable dough. Add more water if needed to achieve the desired consistency. Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes.
Assemble and Roll the Paratha
- Take a small lemon-sized portion of the dough and roll it into a 3-inch circle. Place a tablespoon of the potato filling in the center.
- Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal. Gently flatten the ball slightly. Roll it out again into a 6-7 inch circle.
Cook the Paratha
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot griddle. Cook for approximately 1 minute per side, or until light brown spots appear. Apply a little oil to both sides and cook for another minute per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
- Serve the hot Aloo Methi Paratha with yogurt and pickle for a complete and delicious meal.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Aloo Methi Paratha
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of ginger paste to the potato filling.
- If your dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour while kneading. If it's too dry, add a few drops of water.
- Don't overcrowd the griddle while cooking. Cook the parathas in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
- For a crispier paratha, cook it on high heat for a shorter period of time.
