Picnic Parata




Ingredients

For Parata:
  • Maida or Plain Flour - 1 cup
  • Butter - 1 teaspoon
  • Milk - 1/4 cup
  • Salt as required

For Filling:

  • Potato - 1
  • Onion -1
  • Green Chillies - 2
  • Ginger - small piece
  • Garam Masala - half teaspoon
  • Coriander leaves

Method:

Mix all the "For Parata" ingredients to make a smooth dough. Boil the potato, peel the skin off
and mash roughly. In a frying pan add oil and fry the onion, green chilli and ginger. When onion turns light brown add the mashed potato, garam masala and salt to taste. Add chopped coriander, mix well and leave the stuffing to cool. Make small balls of the dough and make round shaped parata's. Fry the paratas in a pan just to half cooked on both sides, spread the potato filling and fold the parata so that the filling does not comeout. Fry the parata again in the pan with ghee on both sides. Parata can be had as such or accompanied with any chutney. Plain yoghurt and mango pickle is a best combination for stuffed parata's.
