ALU PARATHA

hey frnds...
sorry for not posting earlier, been little busy, anyways, here's the new recipe, and its almost cholesterol free, coz the only oil u use is for roasting the roti.
so enjoy this punjabi delicacy which has been modified little.


Alu paratha

ingredients

boiled and mashed potato-3 cups
finely chopped onion-1 cup
red chilli powder-2 tsp
ginger garlic paste-1tsp
finely chopped coriander-1 tbsp
chat masala-3 tsp
salt-to taste
dough-for roti

method

dry roast the onion until the colour just changes.
add the ginger garlic paste, roast for about a minute.
mix in the potato, red chilli powder, chat masala, coriander and salt.
roast for about -3 minutes.
keep the filling aside.
roll out the dough ball flat about the size of the saucer.
in the lower half of the roti place the filling.
cover with the upper half.
fold into half again, so now u have a triangle.
seal the edges using little water.
flatten the paratha with ur hand little.
roll it as thinly as possible without breaking, moving the paratha as much as possible, so that it does'nt stick.
make other paratha’s in the same way.
heat the tawa, put the paratha and roast it for about a minute, turn it, then spread oil/butter/ghee, roast the other side until golden brown spots appear on both sides.

serve hot with pickle/curd J J
