Aloo Matar(Potato Peas) Parantha


By From My Kitchen to Yours... (Visit website)



With a toddler at home, I often end up having long discussions about his eating habits with so many
mothers I know and in one such chat with my own mother :), she told me how picky  I was  when it came  to  eating.  I  simply used to like toor dal, yogurt, bhindi, cucumber and thats it! No other dal and not many veggies. Oh but aloo parantha was my favourite always,  I could eat not one, not two but  four paranthas at a time when I was in school and I loved them with butter, what a combo! yum. I still  love aloo parantha but just try to avoid butter and eat it with  yogurt  and chutneys etc. and yeah I sometimes just make aloo rotis and put a dab of butter  on it, at least I am avoiding the oil  by not frying. lol

Not just for the taste but since it is so quick and easy to make, I make it often especially when I am not in a mood to make elaborate dinner or simply don't have enough time to make many items.

So I decided to click a snap(not the best one) and post the recipe for Aloo matar parantha that I made yesterday.



Ingredients:-

For the Dough

Whole Wheat flour- 2 cupsOil- 1 tbsp(optional)Salt- a pinchWater - to knead the dough

For the stuffing

Potatoes - 2Peas- 1/4th cupSalt- to tasteTurmeric(optional) - 1/4th teaspoonGaram masala powder- 1/2 teaspoonMango powder- 1/2 teaspoonRed chili powder- 1/2 teaspoonChopped coriander - 2 tbsp(I didn't use as i didn't have it )

Method-

Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead into a smooth, pliable dough, cover and keep asideBoil potatoes and peas either in a pressure cook or in a microwave.Drain and mash while warm. Add all the masalas for the stuffing into the mashed potatoes and peas and mix well.Now take a ball of dough and roll it into a small circle with the help of rolling pin. Put 2- 3 drops of oil and spread it on the rolled circle.Now place some stuffing  in the center (depends entirely on you how much stuffing you want, i like lot of stuffing and thin layer of flour).Pull the edges and bring together to cover the the filling, seal and gently  press on top to flatten it a bit.Roll this into a parantha of desired thickness, don't worry if a little filling comes out, you can just remove it.keep dusting the parantha with dry flour while rolling to avoid sticking.Now  put the rolled parantha on a preheated tawa/griddle, flip once after few seconds when you see very light brown spots on the surface facing the griddle. Once flipped, apply the oil and spread all over the parantha.Now flip again and apply oil on the other side. Cook till its golden brown on both sides.Serve hot with yogurt and pickles.


This time my parantha didn't puff up but I still clicked. A well made parantha should puff up and should be uniformly cooked from all sides.

Enjoy!
