Aloo paratha recipe

Aloo paratha with step by step pictures and video on how to roll parathas        

Aloo Paratha a popular Indian flat bread stuffed with Potato masala, serves a perfect breakfast or lunch or dinner too. Aloo paratha takes place in my kitchen weekly once.
Some dishes we love to eat and some dishes though we do not like to eat, we make for our family members, some dishes we love to make and eat also. Aloo paratha, is the one which i  always love to make and eat too, and thankfully my hubby and kids love Aloo paratha. I learnt the recipe of making aloo paratha from my friend. You can add some grated paneer to this aloo mixture and make aloo paneer paratha. The main key to get perfect parathas is to keep the potato mixture moisture free. If it is loose with lots of moisture, then it will tear while rolling the parathas.

METHI PARATHA RECIPE

I have attempted methi parathas very few times and i don't have a proper recipe, and very recently i got this recipe from my friend,who makes this very nicely. So after knowing the proper recipe, now i wanted to try this and blog this one. So without any delay i went to the market the next day and bought these fresh methi leaves and tried the paratha. Check out my methi thepla recipe too.


It came out very nice and  i loved the texture of the dough while rolling it.

Methi paratha

  Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 25Mins |Serves: 3-4

     Methi leaves   1 small bunch
     Whole wheat flour   2 cups
     Salt  as needed
     Milk   1/2 cup
     Coriander powder   1/2 tsp
     Red chili powder  1 tsp
     Turmeric powder   1/4 tsp
     Garlic  (crushed)  2-3 cloves
     Cumin seeds   1/4 tsp
     Ajwain | Omam  2 pinches
     Oil   1 tblsp
     Water    as needed
     Garam masala   2 pinches
     
     

Method:

• Clean the leaves and cut them into finely.
• Wash them thoroughly
• Crush the garlic (a mortar and pestle can do this job)
• In a kadai, add 2 tsp of oil and put the cuminseeds and crushed garlic.
• Just saute them for a minute .

• Add the methi leaves and throw in the chilli powder,coriander powder ,turmeric powder ,salt and garam masala(if using).
• Saute for 3-5 mins.

• Now switch off the flame and add this mixture to the atta flour
• Mix this nicely.
• Add the ajwain seeds.
• Add the milk and start kneading it into a smooth dough.
• Add water also as the quantity of milk won’t be sufficient to knead the dough.
• Add a tsp of oil to the dough and cover it with a lid and let this it for half an hour.

• Make equal balls out of these dough and roll them into circles.
• Since i decided to make   parathas ,i rolled it into little thick circle.

• Heat a tawa and  put the paratha in it.

• When it is done on both sides,add a tsp of oil and transfer it to a plate.
• Repeat this process for the rest of the balls.
• Serve hot with any pickle/yogurt.

Note:

1. You can replace homemade sambar powder  for chilli powder and coriander powder.
2. Adding garlic to this will subdue the flavour of methi , but not much more.
3. If you want the flavour of methi leaves in particular, just skip the procedure of adding garlic.
4. Sauting methi leaves will reduce the bitterness of the leaves.
