Instructions
For the dough
In a wide bowl, add wheat flour, salt, oil, needed water and prepare a soft and smooth dough. Cover and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. Dough should not be too hard.
For the Stuffing
Pressure cook potatoes for 3 whistles or until soft. Peel the skin and mash them well.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add dry red chili and cumin seeds.
Once it splutters, add hing/asafoetida, finely chopped onions, green chillies, ginger and pinch of salt and saute until onions turn transparent. Adding salt while cooking onions, prevents it from sticking and getting burnt.
Then add the mashed potatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, kitchen king masala powder/ garam masala powder, chaat masala and salt and saute for 3-4 minutes till everything gets blended well.
Be careful while adding salt at this stage, as we have added a pinch of salt to onions. Plus we are using chaat masala and cheese, so the stuffing will require less salt than usual. Check the salt level and add salt accordingly.
Lastly, add grated cheese and finely chopped coriander leaves, mix well and leave it to cool.
Making Parathas
Before starting to make parathas, knead the dough well. If needed, use ½ teaspoon oil and knead till it becomes smooth and soft.
Divide the dough and stuffing into equal parts and make balls out of it. This will make about 4-5 parathas.
Dust a little flour and roll out the dough into a small circle.
Keep stuffing in the center, gather all the corners and seal the dough with the stuffing inside. Press it down gently to flatten it.
Dust a little flour and roll it again very gently, so that stuffing doesn’t come out.
Heat a tawa/non stick pan and place the paratha.
Cook the paratha using little oil/butter/ghee till golden brown spots appears on both sides.
Repeat the same steps to make more parathas.
Serve hot with curd or chutney or pickles.
Notes
•Make sure that the stuffing is not hot while making parathas. Cool it down properly before making your parathas. •Omit cheese from the recipe and make yummy aloo parathas following the same steps.
