Aloo Paratha Indian Potato Stuffed Flatbreads Recipes

ALOO PARATHA (INDIAN POTATO-STUFFED FLATBREADS)

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water to cover, until tender.
• While potatoes cook, mix the flours, cumin, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil, then water.
• Mix until this becomes a defined (albeit sticky) ball of dough.
• Remove and knead until smooth, adding flour or water as necessary.
• Cover dough with plastic wrap and set aside while preparing potatoes.
• When potatoes are finished (tender), remove, drain and mash them with cayenne, salt, pepper, citrus juice, olives and 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12-inch long snake and cut into 12 pieces.
• Roll each piece into about 4-inch round.
• Spoon 1-2 tablespoon of potato mixture into round, then fold over edges to enclose completely.
• Pinch dough closed and press down to distribute filling evenly.
• Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Add another tablespoon of oil to skillet, then pour out (you just want a thin film of oil on pan).
• Cook each bread for about 3 minutes per side, until brown spots appear.
• Repeat until all are done.
• Serve hot or room temperature.
