Alu Paratha - One of the most demanded Paratha, irrespective of location and age :D :D !!


INGREDIENTS
  • 1.5 - 2 Cups Wheat Flour /Atta
  • 2-3 Medium Potatoes

  • 1 Tspn Ajwain/ Carom Seeds
  • 1/2" Ginger

  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour and all the other ingredients (except ghee). Knead and make a soft dough. Add very little water if dough is too dry. Cover and let it sit for 15minutes.
  • Pinch out 1" dia balls out of the dough and roll into chapati shapes. Heat a tawa and cook this chapati on both sides. Cook on one side till small brownish spots appear, then flip and repeat.

  • And, alu paratha's are ready!! Goes very well with curd as well as tomato ketchup.
