For Dough

2 cups atta / whole wheat flour

Just over ½ cup water

1 tsp salt (or to taste)

A few drops of oil

For Aloo Filling

2 Medium sized potatoes

½ tsp jeera / cumin powder

¼ tsp ajwain / omam / carom seeds

½ tsp chaat masala (or garam masala)

½ tsp salt

A handful of coriander leaves, chopped fine

How I Made It:

Step 1:- Make the dough first. Mix the atta and salt well together. Add a few drops of oil and mix with fingertips. Add water little at a time and keep kneading into soft dough. Knead for 3-4 minutes and coat with some more oil. Set aside while making the filling.

Step 2: - Boil and grate the potatoes. Grating is a better method to ensure a smooth filling.

Step 3: - Mix all ingredients of the filling together. The spices you add to filling adds to the taste of your aloo parathas.

Step 4: - Divide the dough into equal parts and roll into smooth balls.

Step 5: - Flour the surface you are going to use to roll the parathas.

Step 6: - Use your fingertips to gently press the filled dough ball into a small circle. Make sure the thickness is equal on all sides.

Step 7: - Transfer rolled paratha to a hot griddle. Make sure you tap out the excess flour used in rolling.

Step 8: - Cook until both sides are golden brown. When done, brush with some ghee / butter or oil and transfer to a plate.
