Ingredients

• 2 medium, boiled and peeled Potatoes
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 cup, finely chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, coarsely mash the boiled potatoes and add the salt, ground cumin, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, chopped coriander, and green chili. Mix well to combine the potato filling. Set aside.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the chickpea flour and rice flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water while kneading to form a soft dough. If needed, add more water tablespoon by tablespoon to achieve the right consistency.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and form smooth balls. Flatten each ball slightly and set aside.

Step 4

Take one ball, dust it with rice flour, and roll it into a 4-inch circle. Place about 2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center, fold the edges to cover the filling, and then flatten gently to seal the filling inside.

Step 5

Carefully roll the stuffed dough into a circle of approximately 6 inches, ensuring that the filling doesn't spill out. Use additional rice flour for dusting if necessary.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the paratha on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles start to form.

Step 7

Flip the paratha and apply a little ghee or oil over the top. Press gently with a spatula and cook until both sides are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and filling.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free alu parathas hot with yogurt or pickle of your choice.
