Aloo Parotta

Aloo Parotta is one of Vivek's favorites and i try to make it regularly. It can be made by stuffing the flour with the potato mix or by kneading it with the flour. I prefer the kneading one as the flavor in that is wonderful. I made it for my son's birthday party and everyone loved it. Well it was last november, and my son also loves to eat it.

Ingredients:-
Potatoes - 5 medium boiled and skin removed and smashed well
Onion - 1 large minced
Green chilies - 3 small minced

Garam masala - 1 1tsp
Chili powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Cilantro - minced
Salt to taste
Cooking oil - as per requried
Wheat flour - 4 cups

Method:-
1. In a kadai pour 2tbsp of oil and when hot add the fennel seeds followed by the minced onion.

2.Once well done add the green chilies, ginger garlic paste and the garam masala and mix well and wait till the raw smell goes.

3.Add the chili powder and the turmeric powder and wait for the oil to separate

4. Put the smashed potatoes and salt and mix well. Make sure the salt is spread and the potato gets coated fully in the masala. Let it stay for a while as al the water in the potato has to be gone.
