Aloo Methi Stuffed Paratha

Dinners are very simple around here and the kids mostly prefer chapathi or poori.Same goes for the lunchbox as well.So this dish , that I recreated from Srivalli’s space, served as the kids lunch . I had this for breakfast and the Mister tasted a bit during lunch.

Though just a side of yogurt / raita would have been sufficient, I served these parathas with Makhana Dalma

These parathas are for Blogging Marathon #60, Week 1, Day 2, under the theme – Meal Ideas.

Adapted from – Spice your Life

I used:

For the dough:

Wheat flour- 2 cups
Ajwain-1/2 teaspoon
Salt to taste

For the filling:

Potato-2, Boiled, peeled and roughly mashed
Methi leaves- from a small bunch
Onion-1,small,finely chopped
Garlic-2,pods, finely chopped
Cumin seeds- 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder- 1 large pinch
Red chili powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil-1 teaspoon

Take the ingredients for the dough in a bowl and add water little by little and knead to a soft and smooth dough.Cover and keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds and finely chopped onion and garlic.When the onion turns light brown, add washed and chopped methi / fenugreek leaves and saute for a couple of minutes till the leaves shrink.Add turmeric powder and chili powder, mashed potato.Mix well. Cook for another minute and remove from heat and transfer into a bowl.Let this mixture cool completely.

Take a golf ball sized portion of the dough and flatten it lightly.Place a spoonful of the mixture and bring the sides together sealing the filling inside.Gently roll out into parathas.
