Aloo Matar Paratha Aloo Matar Stuffed Paratha Food

DHABA STYLE ALOO PARATHA

Steps:

• Put all the dough making ingredients in your food processor with the dough paddle. You will get a soft and elastic dough. Set aside and let it rest until we prepare the potato stuffing.
• In the food processor put all the ingredients required for the potato stuffing and pulse it until it all mixes and comes together well. Potato should be minced.
• Divide dough 7-8 medium balls, dust the floor and roll the balls into small circle with the help of a rolling pin.
• Hold the rolled dough in your palm and place 2-3 tbsp of potato filling in the center. Use your judgement when it comes to filling, you should be able to close the dough with filling inside. Pinch the top of the dough to seal it well.
• Flatten the dough lightly with your hands and roll it out gently into 6-8 inch circle. Dont forget to sprinkle flour before rolling the dough.
• Cook the paratha on a tawa at medium-high heat. When one side is brown, flip the paratha and brush it with oil. Repeat the same process with other side too. Cook well on both sides till you see golden spots. Your paratha is ready. Top it with butter and serve hot with pickle or yogurt.
• If you want to freeze the paratha for later use then cook them until they are just a little under done. Put in a ziploc bag, if you have multiple paratha then put parchment paper between each one of them as this will make it easier to take them out when frozen and heat. Dont thaw the paratha, take them out of the freezer and cook on hot tawa until perfectly golden and crisp for you to eat. I always make extra batch for use during weekdays.

ALOO MUTTER PANEER STUFFED PARATHAS

Steps:

• To make the chappathi dough, mix the whole wheat flour,salt-1tsp,oil-2tsp with warm water in a mixing bowl so as to make a smooth pliable non sticky dough with approximately 1 cup warm water.
• Keep it covered.
• To prepare the stuffing boil the potatoes.
• and when cool enough to handle grate them.
• Boil the peas mash them coarsely.Keep these both aside.
• Heat oil in a pan and add cumin, once it crackles add the grated onion and over low flame,fry them till they are light brown but not burnt.
• Now mix in the ginger-green chili paste fry for a minute.Then mix in the dry powders-red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, cumin powder; mix well for a minute. Add the salt, chopped mint and coriander; mix well and add grated paneer, grated potato and mashed peas. Turn the flame to low and mix well and check for salt and if needed add some more.
• Now the stuffing is ready.
• From the prepared dough make roughly 10 equal sized balls.
• Divide the stuffing into same number but of a smaller size.
• Now take a dough ball, dredge it with little flour and roll it out into a 4 inch circle , now place one portion of stuffing in the centre, gather the sides to centre over the stuffing so as to cover it.
• Now place the stuffed side down and again dredge this stuffed ball with little flour. Roll this stuffed ball by applying medium pressure into a 6 inch circle of medium thickness. If you apply too much pressure, while rolling the stuffing will come out.
• So repeat the procedure with remaining dough balls and stuffing.
• Finally to cook these parathas heat a non stick frying pan, once hot, place the rolled paratha one at a time on the pan
• Cook till light brown spots appear on the underside,then flip over to cook the other side. Once cooked,spread little oil or butter on both sides.
• The parathas are now ready to be served with raita and pickle.
