Aloo Paratha

I literally drool over aloo parathas. They are my all-time favourite snack item. But as no good food is without its drawback and side effect, aloo paratha too is quite high in calorie albeit mouth-watering.  Nevertheless, once in a while definitely we may allow ourselves the indulgence to fulfill our cravings, keeping every health related thought at bay.

Ingredient:                                            Cooking time: 40 minutes approx. ü  200 gm whole wheat flour ü  2 tbsp yogurt ü  1 small sized onion (finely chopped) ü  3-4 green chillies (finely chopped) ü  2 medium sized potatoes (boiled and mashed) ü  1 tsp dry mango powder ü  1 tsp paprika or red chilli powder ü  1 tsp cumin powder ü  Salt to taste ü  Few coriander leaves (optional) ü  1 tsp garam masala powder ü  Ghee ü  White oil for cooking Method: 1) Knead whole wheat flour and yogurt to a smooth dough. Keep it aside for 30 minutes, covered. 2) Meanwhile, add all the spices, onion, green chillies and coriander leaves into the mashed potatoes and mix well. 3) Make 4 small balls out of the wheat flour dough and roll them out into a round mini pancake and put the mashed potato mixture in the middle. (For easy preparation, make small balls out of the potato mixture, ¾ size of the wheat flour balls.) 4) Fold the mixture into the pancake and roll them out again to a bigger paratha. (Dust the parathas with wheat flour frequently while rolling out, to prevent it from fraying.) 5) Shallow fry the parathas in oil and ghee.   6) Serve hot with a pickle of your choice and yogurt.
