AlooParatha Brought to you by Neera V. N

AlooParatha (roti stuffed with potato) is an excellent, easy Indian recipe that can be served at anytime(but mostly breakfast). It goes well with mango pickles, chutney or curd (dahi) or any vegetable curry. You can also improvise alooparatha to your taste, adding some spicy elements.

serves 2 Preparation time 15 minutes Cooking time 10 minutes

PREPARATION Mix flour,

water and salt to taste and knead properly. Set aside the dough for half an hour, so

it becomes a bit soft. Mash the boiled potato to fine, thick

paste and add chopped onions, chillies, coriander leaves,

turmeric powder and salt to taste. Kneading can be done in two

ways: you can either mix the dough and the potato paste and knead

it. Or you can stuff the potato in the dough. Now, roast the paratha on the pan (tawa). Add butter, ghee or oil as you prefer while roasting. Serve hot alooparathas with some pickle, or chutney or hot curry.
