- Grate the potatoes in a bowl. Add the Chopped Cilantro and finely chopped Green Chillies.
- Add the spices along with 3/4 tsp of salt and mix with the potatoes and form golf-sized balls.
- Mix 1 Tbsp of Oil and 1/4tsp of salt with the flour. Then add little water at a time to form a firm dough.
- Apply 1/4 tsp of oil on this dough and cover and keep for 1/2 an hour.
- Heat a Medium sized Frying pan on medium heat. Mix the dough for 5 mins to make a soft pliable dough.
- Make small golf sized balls with this dough. Roll out this dough in a circle. Place the potato-ball in the center and fold the dough over this and seal the edges by pinching them together.

Serve hot with pickle and yogurt or some spicy side dish. Enjoy.
Tip: Left Over Potatoes mixture can be stored in the refrigerator after cooling and used to make parathas within a week.
Just looking at those parathas is already making me hungry!! :) I would have asked for a couple, but I am guessing the family devoured every last one.:)
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering what it would be like if the stuffing had some meat in it, like maybe minced beef/chicken etc... you know, something for the non-vegetarians too!! :)
Great Stuff!!:)
Thank you so much for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried making any non-veg parathas but that is a great suggestion and I will give it a try. I am sure the kids would love it.
