Put the tortilla on a plate and on both sides of the brush brush all over with oil. Cover with a clean cloth to tortillas stayed warm, while others are not ready.





The Ala PARAT — tortilla stuffed with spicy potatoes

When chapatis are prepared layered (like a cake), or filled with stuffing, they are called "PARAT". Original preparations had appeared in the Punjab, but spread all over India, including South Asia. "Ala", in Hindi means "potato", so Ala., is a flatbread with potato stuffing. This dish appeared initially in server India.

Paraty can be stuffed with potatoes, cauliflower, cottage cheese, cheese (paneer), onions or just lightly mashed vegetables, as long as they are dry. The Ala PARAT served with yogurt, and sometimes pickled vegetables.

In the preparation of parathas, you need to remember the most important thing that the vegetables must be thinly sliced so that they can be easily wrapped in a tortilla.

Ingredients:

200 grams of flour

1/2 tsp chat masala (Indian seasoning)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 tsp cumin powder

4 green pepper

1/2 bunch green coriander leaves

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 onion

3-4 boiled potatoes

salt to taste

Method:

Preparations can be prepared as well as chapatis, or add a little vegetable oil. The recipe below uses butter. Oil makes preparations a little crunchy when they are cooked.

1. In a saucepan through a sieve to strain 200 g of flour. Add vegetable oil (a little bit, otherwise the dough will be torn, as in the samosas) and salt. Add water (basic rule: use 55% of water, i.e. 100 grams of flour and 55 ml of water).

2. Mix well and knead the dough. It is very important that the dough was well kneaded, then preparations will be fine. The dough needs to "rest" for 15-20 minutes.

3. For stuffing, you need all the ingredients to cook separately and have to wipe on a grater. Grated wipe the potatoes.

4. In a pan add the powder of coriander, Chile, cumin, chopped green chilies, green coriander leaves, finely chopped onion and stir.

5. Add to the pan grated potatoes. Well stir fry but not for long, as the potatoes are ready.

6. Move the stuffing into a bowl and add a few drops of lemon juice. Roll the dough to Paraty, as shown in the recipe above for chapatis (or on the video below to Paraty), only the core needs to be slightly thicker. In the center put the stuffing and close up the ends of the dough to form a pouch as shown in the video below.

7. Next, gently roll Paraty again in the cake, but that it is not broken. If there are bubbles, gently pierce the plastic with a fork to release the air.

8. Fry Paraty on both sides.
