How to make Aloo Paratha
Pick one ball, and roll it into a small disc of 2-3 inches. Fill 2 teaspoons of the potato stuffing. Bring the sides of the dough into the centre and pinch to seal the edges. Repeat the process for the remaining portions.
Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball with your hands. Then dust in the flour and roll the dough into a 6-7 inch diameter with a rolling pin. While rolling, apply equal pressure to the dough and you will have a circle paratha.
Heat the tawa or a frying pan over high heat. When hot, place them on the Tawa and cook for at least 40-50 seconds or until you see gentle bubbles. Flip and cook at the same time. Now flip it again and drizzle 1/4 teaspoon of oil. Cook for another 30-40 seconds.
Flip again and cook until the parathas have golden brown spots.
Remove from heat and stack the paratha in a casserole dish and seal with a lid. You can also wrap them in foil to keep them warm.
