How to Make ... Aloo Paratha
My girlfriend missed india.. so we made Aloo Paratha and you guys get a guide
The Ingredients
For the mash :
- 6 small potatoes
- 1 spicy red chili pepper
- 4 garlic
- 1 purple onion
- 1 ginger root ( about 3 cm cube is needed)
- a bunch of curry leaves ( 8 are good)
For the Dough :
- flour
- olive oil
- salt
- sugar
- water
Prepping the Potatoes
we are stream cooking the potatos becuse we want them to be dry
so start by slicing them in half than place them on top of boiling water ( on the steamer) for 30 minutes
cover them up with a pan
Slicing Dicing and Frying
slice and dice all the ingediances
start with freying the onions first when they turn brown add everithing else.
i am using Gee ( a type of butter ) for extra flavor but any oil/ butter can be used
cook for about 4 minutes and let it rest
The Final Peel
after 30 minutes remove the potatos from the steamer.
peel of the , since they are soft it sould be quiet easy
Mashing It All Up
mash the potato with the fried veggies and onions a until its all mixed and smooth
How to Make the Dough
150 g flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon oil
100 g water
mix, knead until you can call it dough
Resting Phase
The dough need to rest for about an hour
And its much more nice to handle cold mash-potato to warm one..
Dont worry it will be hot soon enough
Combining the Aloo With the Paranta
Now that you have everything time for the last prep phase
Cut the dough into six pieces, and round them up so they'll be around 6 cm in diameter, with about 5 mm thickness
Take a little mash and place inside the dough, close the edges so all the mash will be covered then flatten until the mash almost burst through the thin dough.
Frying
Place on a pan with some Butter/Oil until brown
