Ingredients
For the Potato Filling
- 2 medium Potatoes russet or similar
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1-2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds saunf
- 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder dhaniya
- 1 tbsp Coriander chopped, cilantro
- 2-3 tbsp Oil vegetable or ghee
For the Dough
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour atta
- 3/4 - 1 cup Water or as needed to form a soft dough
- 1/2 tsp Salt for the dough
Instructions
Prepare the Potato Filling
- Grate the potatoes using a box grater. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and let it sit for 2 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze out excess water thoroughly.
- Add the chopped onion, red chili powder, fennel seeds, coriander powder, and chopped coriander leaves to the grated potatoes. Mix well to combine.
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes.
Assemble and Cook the Parathas
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center.
- Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Gently flatten the ball and roll it out into a slightly thinner circle.
- Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat. Cook the paratha on the tawa for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Brush with oil as needed during cooking. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as yogurt, chutney, or pickle.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Instant Aloo Parathas
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or turmeric powder to the potato filling.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Don't overcrowd the tawa; cook the parathas in batches to ensure even cooking.
- For crispier parathas, cook them on medium-high heat and use a little more oil.
