Steps

35 mins

1

Mash the boiled potatoes and mix in 2 finely chopped green chilies, 1/2 tsp carom seeds, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander leaves, 3/4 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala powder, 1/2 tsp chaat masala powder and salt to taste. Mix the ingredients uniformly, taste the aloo stuffing and add more of the spices or salt if required and then keep aside.
2

Now take 2 cups of whole wheat flour in the bowl or dish and add 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 2 tbsp of oil or ghee and salt to taste.
3

Gradually add water and knead to a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes.
4

Now make about 8 small balls from the dough. Dust some floor on the surface, take one ball and with the help of rolling pin, roll into a small circle.
5

Place about 1 tbsp of prepared aloo mixture in the center of a round roti, pull from all the sides and roll it gently into a diameter of 6-8 inches. Sprinkle good amount of freshly chopped coriander leaves and flatten with rolling pin.
6

Heat a tava or griddle on high flame and place the rolled out paratha on it. Drizzle few drops of oil and cook it on medium high flame. When the paratha seems one sided slightly browned, flip it and cook from the other side as well.
7

Brush some oil and flip once or twice, till you see the golden spots on the aloo paratha and it looks crisp and well cooked.
8

Serve the aloo paratha hot with yogurt, mango pickle or lemon pickle.
