Right Way To Make Aloo Paratha: There would hardly be any person who does not like to eat potato paratha. Especially now that the winter season has started, potato paratha is everyone’s favorite breakfast in almost every Indian house. It is served with butter, green chutney, raita and pickle.
If you get hot potato parathas during the winter season, it makes your day. As delicious as it is to eat, it is equally difficult to make. Most of the people complain that potato paratha gets torn while making. In such a situation, we are going to give you some tips, by following which you too can prepare Dhaba style Aloo Paratha in an easy way.
Prepare stuffing properly
Prepare the stuffing for paratha properly. For this, first cool the boiled potatoes thoroughly and then mash them. Mix the spices well in the potatoes so that the stuffing is uniform. Keep in mind that the potatoes should be completely mashed, so that there are no lumps left in it.
Prepare the stuffing with the right ingredients
Before adding more water or green vegetables like onion, green chillies to potatoes, make sure that they are dry. If you are adding paneer, peas, or cheese then mix it well so that it does not create any problem in rolling.
It is important to knead the dough properly
Paratha dough should neither be too hard nor too soft. Cover it and keep it for 15-20 minutes so that it sets well. If the dough is tight, the paratha will tear, whereas if it is soft, you will not be able to roll the paratha.
Fill the stuffing properly
Never fill paratha with too much stuffing, as it may cause the paratha to burst. After filling the stuffing, press and close the edges well so that it does not come out while rolling.
Be careful while rolling
While rolling the paratha, do not make it too thin. If the stuffing is coming out, roll the dough a little thicker. Roll gently and do not apply too much pressure to spread the stuffing evenly. Otherwise either the paratha will burst or the stuffing will be on one side.
proper heat of the pan
While baking paratha, the pan should be medium hot. Paratha may stick on a pan that is too cold, and may burn on a pan that is too hot. Therefore, to make perfect paratha, keep the temperature of the pan correct. By keeping these tips in mind, you can easily make delicious and tear-free potato parathas.
