Aloo parota







Aloo parota or alu partha is an all-time favourite of my family. It is simple and tasty. It is a flat bread stuffed with  spiced potatoes. Of course the calorie count is slightly on the higher end. Hence, it must be taken during lunch with some basic salad and curd.

 For flat bread:
Whole wheat flour -2cups
Salt -1/2tsp (optional)
Water -1/2 cup
Combine everything and make soft dough out of it. Rest it for 15 minutes.

For the filling:
Mashed boiled potatoes - 1cup
Chopped green chillies – 2tsps
Chopped coriander leaves -1tsp
Ginger paste -1/2tsp
Salt to taste
Oil for toasting

Method:
Mix all the ingredients for filling except oil. Divide equally and make small balls out of it. Keep it aside.
Similarly, divide the dough into equal parts to match the filling. Roll them into smooth balls using both the palm of your hands. Flatten each ball slightly and place the filling. Seal it thoroughly. Using a rolling pin make flat breads out of it. Heat a griddle and toast the flat breads on both the sides using little oil.  Serve with tomato sauce, curd or green chutney.
