Soft Aloo Paratha

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Knead Soft Dough For Aloo Paratha** Mix flour, salt, and oil. Add water gradually until a soft dough forms. Knead 5 minutes. Cover and rest 20 minutes.

   Make The Potato Filling

   Mash warm potatoes until smooth. Stir in cumin, garam masala, chili, coriander, red chili powder, and amchur if using. Taste for salt. Cool completely.

3. 3.

   Divide And Stuff

   Divide dough and filling into 8 equal portions. Flatten a dough ball, place filling in the center, and pinch closed. Seal well so no potato peeks out.

   Roll Soft Aloo Paratha Gently

   Dust lightly with flour. Roll from the center outward to about 18 cm. Flip once if it sticks. Keep the filling even so it does not burst.
