Step-by-Step Guide to Making Potato Paratha
Prepare the Potato Filling
Start by boiling and mashing the potatoes. Once mashed, refrigerate them for a short while. Remove the potatoes from the fridge and mix in finely chopped onions, green chilies, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, chopped coriander leaves, and garam masala. This combination will give your paratha a rich and flavorful filling.
Make the Dough
Next, prepare a slightly soft dough using flour and water. The dough should be soft enough to easily encase the potato mixture but firm enough to hold its shape. Once ready, divide the dough into equal portions for rolling.
Assemble the Paratha
Roll out a portion of the dough into a small circle. Place a generous amount of the potato mixture in the center. Fold and seal the edges carefully to form a ball, ensuring the filling does not spill out. Gently flatten the ball with your hands, applying minimal pressure.
Cook the Paratha
Heat a griddle or tawa on medium flame. Place the prepared paratha on it and cook one side until golden brown. Flip the paratha and apply ghee or refined oil. Repeat the process for the other side until the paratha is crisp and fully cooked. Serve hot with yogurt, chutney, or sauce for a delightful meal.
Tips for Perfect Potato Paratha
-
Use slightly chilled mashed potatoes to prevent the filling from oozing out.
-
