Potato And Kale Stuffed Paratha
Potato, being a quintessential part of Indian cooking, makes appearance everywhere from stir-fries to curries to stuffed Indian flat bread (parathas). Check this recipe of Aloo Paratha prepared three different ways! While there are various fillings that you can use for stuffed parathas, somehow the simple mash potato (aloo paratha) always wins more hearts. It’s also my favorite. At times, when I prep for aloo paratha, I make some extra filling so that I can add some greens to the mashed potatoes for a back to back stuffed paratha meals.
Making Stuffed Paratha takes some practice getting better,
I remember when I made stuffed paratha for the first time. It was after our marriage and I wanted to impress him. We ended up eating instant noodles because I made a complete mess and left the kitchen frustrated. It took me several attempts to learn the trick of making stuffed paratha. And potato, being the easiest one, became my favorite.
Tips on Potato and Kale Stuffed Paratha:
Doesn’t matter what kind of filling you wish to stuff, just make sure it’s very finely chopped.You could cook the filling before stuffing or stuff it raw, either way, just make sure it doesn’t have a lot of moisture. When I cooked the kale and mashed potato paratha, I made sure that the kale is very finely chopped. The filling needs to have even texture so that when it’s filled and rolled, it spreads uniformly.When you are rolling, don’t put too much pressure. Make soft motions so that the stuffing doesn’t come out. Make sure you sprinkle enough flour so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin.If some filling breaks out, just sprinkle some flour on top and continue rolling. We like it when the filling breaks out a little because as it chars on the hot skillet, it adds an extra flavor and a light crunch too,
