Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 cup soy flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup water
• 3 medium potatoes
• 1 finely chopped green chilies
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons oil
• 0 as needed for cooking ghee or oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, and soy flour with a teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a soft, pliable dough forms. Cover the dough and set aside for 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Boil the potatoes until soft, then drain and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and mash them in a bowl.

Step 4

To the mashed potatoes, add chopped green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth potato filling.

Step 5

Divide the dough into equal portions, each about the size of a large lemon, and roll them into balls.

Step 6

Flatten each dough ball slightly and place a spoonful of potato filling in the center. Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling, pinching to seal.

Step 7

Gently roll out the filled dough ball into a circle of about 6-7 inches in diameter, taking care not to let the filling spill out.

Step 8

Heat a tava or skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or ghee to the hot surface.

Step 9

Place the rolled out paratha on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until brown spots appear on one side.

Step 10

Flip the paratha and drizzle more ghee or oil around the edges and on top. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 12

Serve the hot protein-rich alu parathas with yogurt, pickle, or a side of your choice.
