Aloo Paratha

An easy-to-make spicy potato stuffed paratha. Filling, can be had anytime of the day and a hit with almost everyone of the family! :)

INGREDIENTS:
For the stuffing:

• Potatoes(boiled) 2 large or 3-4 medium
• Cooking Oil 2 tbsp
• Cumin Seeds 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric 1/4 tsp
• Green chillies 2-3 or according to taste
  
• Salt to taste
• Garam Masala 1 tsp
  
• Chat Masala (optional) 1 tsp
• Fresh Chopped Coriander a handful

For the base:

• Wheat Flour(Atta) 2 cups
• Water(warm) 3/4 to 1 cup(just enough for kneadable dough)
• Salt 2 tsp
• Oil 1 tbsp

DIRECTIONS:
Making the dough:
The dough is prepared in the same way as that for chapathi, which is explained clearly in the recipe for chapathi. Prepare and keep in advance.

Making the stuffing:
Heat oil in a frying pan and add cumin seeds. After the seeds stop popping, add the rest of the ingredients to it and mix well for about 5 mins. Remove from heat and keep aside.

Making the parathas:
Divide the dough you've prepared earlier into equal portions and roll them out into small puris on a lightly dusted chapathi board. (Don't roll them out into full chapathis in first round itself). Divide the filling into equal portions, and place a portion into the rolled out dough(Make sure the filling is not too much or too little, around a tablespoon of filling would do). Close the dough from all sides pinching it slightly and form a dumpling out of it. Slightly flatten the dumpling and roll it out gently into a paratha.
Pre-heat the tawa/pan while rolling out the parathas, and place the rolled-out paratha on the tawa. Cook it until the face-down side turns light brown, flip it over and cook the other side till light brown again.
Remove from tawa and your kiddulam aloo paratha is ready-to-eat! :D
Serve hot with chutney or pickle or dahi(yoghurt) or just have it plain!

N.B: Same as with chapathi you can slightly add few drops of butter/ghee while heating the chapathis.
