Quick Liquid Dough Aloo Paratha

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Base

Take one large boiled potato and grate it into a mixing bowl. Ensure the potato is at room temperature before grating.

Step 2: Add Aromatics and Spices

To the grated potato, add 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped onion and 1 finely chopped green chili. Then, add 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of red chili powder.

Step 3: Incorporate Flour and Seasonings

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour (maida) to the mixture. Season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of turmeric powder. Also, add 0.5 teaspoon of crushed coriander.

Step 4: Add Oil and Water to Form Batter

Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the dry ingredients. Gradually add approximately 1 cup of water while whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free liquid batter. The consistency should be neither too thick nor too thin.

Step 5: Add Fresh Coriander

Once the batter is smooth, add a desired amount of finely chopped fresh coriander for flavor and garnish. Mix well until evenly distributed.

Step 6: Cook the Paratha - First Side

Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a brush. Pour a ladleful of the liquid batter into the pan and spread it evenly to form a round paratha. Let it cook for a few seconds until the edges start to lift and the paratha releases from the pan.

Step 7: Cook the Paratha - Second Side

Carefully flip the paratha to the other side using a spatula. Optionally, brush a little oil, butter, or ghee on the cooked side. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Step 8: Serve

Remove the cooked paratha from the pan. Repeat the process for the remaining batter. Serve hot with your favorite chutney, pickle, or yogurt.

• Adjust the quantity of green chilies and red chili powder according to your spice preference.

• If garlic powder is unavailable, you can use finely chopped fresh garlic or garlic paste.

• You can substitute all-purpose flour with regular wheat flour for a healthier option.

• Cook the parathas on medium-low heat to ensure they cook through and become crispy without burning.

• Add other finely chopped vegetables like carrots or capsicum for added nutrition and flavor.

• Sprinkle some grated cheese on top of the paratha while cooking for a cheesy twist.
