After Idli and sambhar, if I have to say I enjoy a vegetarian dish it must be these soft aaloo parathas and any paneer dishes. This is something which I regularly order in a restaurant. From blogging I have learnt that this is favourite for many like me. To be honest I enjoy these paneer recipes much more than chicken.
Aaloo paratha recipe is somrthing which I prepare even in my earlier days of cooking, when I just started to cook. It never goes wrong and one good thing about these parathas are they remain just as soft even after a long time, you don't have to reheat it again. So this is perfect for dinner parties or even picnics.
Paneer Tikka Masala, I learnt from Vahchef. I know he must be a favourite chef for many foodies. I enjoy watching his videos. A good food picture will tempt the viewers, but to me his videos and the way he explains about the food, makes me to try it immediately. His recipes are always reliable which is presented very interestingly. I enjoy a lot watching his online recipe, do check it out.
Aaloo Parathas
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes 10 to 12 parathas
Ingredients:
Wheat flour- 300 g
Yogurt- 3 tbsp
Ghee- 1 tbsp
Bicarbonate of soda- 1/4 tsp
Honey- 1/2 tbsp
Salt- 1/2 tsp
Water just enough to knead the dough
Oil for making the parathas
For filling:
Potatoes- 3 to 4 medium sized
Onion- 1 small sized finely chopped
Green chilly- 1 chopped
Coriander leaves- finely chopped 1 tbsp
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Sift the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. Make a well in the center add the yogurt, honey and ghee. Add water little by little to make it into a smooth dough. Knead the dough in a floured work surface for 5 minutes, until the dough looks elastic. Place the dough in a clean and oiled bowl. Cover with a cling film and let it rest for minimum 2 hours.
Prepare the filling:
Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes until it's soft enough to mash. Peel the skin, mash the potatoes without any lumps. Add the chopped onion, chilly, coriander leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Mix it well.
Prepare the parathas:
Divide the dough into 10 equal rounds and divide the potato filling into 10 equal rounds. Roll the dough into 3 cm diameter. Place the filling in the middle. Close the dough and seal the edges. Apply some flour to the work surface and roll it out into 8 cm diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat a non stick tawa, when the tawa gets heated, place the parathas in the middle. Cook it each side for 2 to 3 minutes, until it looks brown spots on top. Apply ghee or oil while cooking.
Serve the parathas warm with veg or non veg curries.

Great photos. you are really good at this. Do you have a cookbook already?
hii should the onions be cooked before adding to the potatoes
No, you don't have to cook the onions. Add the raw onions to the cooked potatoes.
