Potato paratha (oorulai kizhangu chapati or aloo paratha)

Potato paratha (Urulai kizhangu chapati or aloo paratha) - preparation time 20 mins
My version of aloo paratha. I used to add different spices to aloo so the taste will differ each time and it will be interesting while eating. Below is the aloo paratha with omam as spice. Omam is very good for health and for kids they will give omam boiled water for digestion. This paratha is a healthy dish. Use less oil (pls take very little ghee if you prefer ghee for this paratha). Happy and Healthy eating.



Ingredients:-
Boiled potato - 2

Ajwain (Omam) - 1/2 tsp
Wheat flour - 3 cups
Salt - Required amount
Water - To Knead the dough
Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
Carrot - 1 cup chopped
Chopped fresh coriander - 1 tbsp
Sunflower or Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp

Preparation method:-
Pressure cook the potatoes. Remove the skin, mash the potatoes and mix salt and chili.
Mix wheat flour with 1 tbsp oil and salt. Knead the flour with required amount of water. Knead well so that the dough is soft. Apply little oil and rest the flour for few mins (maybe 30 mins)
To the potato add chopped coriander leaves, carrot fried with little oil and mix.
