(Aloo paratha - Updated Picture)

Hello everybody! Hope you had a great start in this year 2008 .

          Here is the way I made aloo paratha today..And I know all of you know very well to make this one,yet for my future reference and those who don't know before…, I am posting this one!

Ingredients

For Dough:

Knead dough to a non-sticky consistency similar to  how we prepare for chapattis and keep for some 15 - 30 minutes.

For stuffing:

Method:

• Prepare the stuffing by mixing the mashed potatoes and the other ingredients for stuffing.
• Make parathas with this stuff in your way of making parathas!

Other way than the above link is :

1. Make equal sized balls out of the dough and the stuffing.
2. Roll the dough ball to a thick,palm sized circle.
3. Keep the stuffing in the middle and cover it from all sides towads the middle and press to a patty.
4. dust the platform with flour and roll as thin as possible so that the dough covers the stuff as a thin layer.
5. Heat tawa and cook the parathas both sides in medium low flame,add oil as needed,till golden brown

Side dish for this Paratha:

Tomato Garlic Chutney:

   This is very simple to make and it can be a good side dish for aloo,methi parathas! Also I would recommend this chutney because,the garlic in this chutney nullifies/neutralizes the gastric properties of aloo,so good for health chutney . This is a treat for garlic flavour loving people and perfect for all sort of parathas/stuffed and plain. Try this,you will be amazed!

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Chop the tomatoes roughly, peel and Crush the garlic little.Grind the tomatoes in a mixer to a smooth paste without adding water.and then add this to the ground tomato and again run 2-3 times (use Juice/inch option),taking care to not to grind it smooth..Garlic should be visible as little little bits.
2. Heat the gingelly oil(nallennai),preferably in a flat broad pan...really really hot,till it fumes.Add the ground mixture and stir well. Let it boil only for a minute and by this time the colour would have changed and the oil should have separated.
3. Put off the stove and transfer to the serving bowl!

Notes

        I am sending this chutney to Sunita's Monthly Spice event, This time Think Spice : Think Garlic...!

           I also tried a Korma form Lavanyaa's cookery corner..Even though I dint get her korma colour...I think I will get it right next time! It was very nice...! Here's a picture of that one to share with you all!
