Is there anyone who doesnt like Potatoes?? I dont think so. It is everyones favourite. The tastiest of all vegetables, I would say. So lets try a delicious Paratha with Potato. Aloo paratha is the most common of all the stuffed paratha recipes. Easy to make and yummy too. Try this.( I hate onions in a stuffed Paratha. So i deliberately neglected it. You can use it if you want)

Oil for cooking the parathas

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Coriander leaves -fistful (finely chopped)
Garam masala or Kitchen king masala - 1/2 tsp
Preparation
In a wide bowl, add 1 cup of wheat flour, salt, oil, needed water and prepare a soft, smooth dough. Grease your hands with a tsp of oil and knead the dough well. Cover and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. Prepare the dough just as you prepare for chappathi.
Pressure cook potatoes for 3 whistles or until soft. Peel the skin and mash it well.
Heat 2 tsp of oil, add cumin seeds, when it splutters, add finely chopped green chillies and saute until onions turn transperent. Then add the mashed potatoes, coriander powder, cumin powder, kitchen king masala powder or garam masala powder, chilli powder, salt needed and cook for 2-3 minutes until every thing gets blended well.
Add finely chopped coriander leaves, mix well and leave it to cool.
Divide the dough into 5 equal parts and make balls out of it.
Divide the stuffing into 5 lemon sized balls
Dust a little flour and roll out the dough into a small circle.
Keep a tbsp of stuffing in the center, gather all the corners and seal the dough with the stuffing inside. Press it down gently to flatten it.
Dust a little four and roll out the flattened dough with the stuffing into a 6-7" circle. Do not apply too much pressure as the stuffing might come out.
Heat a tawa and place the rolled out dough.
When you will find small bubbles forming on the surface, spread a tsp of oil and flip it over to the other side.
Spread a little oil on the other side also and cook both sides well until golden brown spots appear.
Remove from tawa after both the sides are cooked well. Serve with curd or chutney or pickles.
