Aloo Paratha - Make them the Easy Way!

Aloo ka Paratha - An Authentic North India Recipe, which is everyone's most favorite food in my house. Earlier, I used to make these Parathas in the traditional way by filling the Whole Wheat dough with Potato stuffing. But, recently I made some changes to the way I cook my parathas and they turned out much better than the regular ones...thin, soft and tasty. This saves a lot of time too. So here is the most simplest way of making Aloo Parathas :)

Ingredients:

2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
2 Large Potatoes (Boiled)
1 Tbsp Red Chilli Powder
1/2 Tbsp Coriander Powder
1/2 Tbsp Jeer Powder
2 Tbsp Fresh Coriander, Mint and Green Chillies Paste (Optional)
Salt to Taste
1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
2-3 Tbsp Ghee for Frying Parathas

4. Make small round balls from the dough and press them slightly to flatten in your palms. Dust in Whole Wheat Flour and roll gently until it is about 1mm thick.
5. Heat a Tawa till the smoking point and reduce the flame to low. Now fry the parathas. When cooked half way, turn it over and spread a few drops of Ghee then flip it over to the other side and again spread some drops of Ghee and cook till you see the dark brown or golden brown patches on the paratha.
