ALOO PARATHA (INDIAN POTATO STUFFED FLATBREAD)

Steps:

• Place the flour, water and salt in a bowl. Use a table knife to mix the ingredients together, then use your hands.
• Once the dough is sort of formed, turn it out onto a work surface and knead it 60 times. It should be smooth and elastic, not sticky or crumbly.
• Form the dough into a ball, cover with cling wrap and set aside for at least 20 minutes (up to a few hours). Do not refrigerate.
• Meanwhile, make the Filling. Place all Filling ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine.
• Preheat oven to very low (to keep Parathas warm because you can only cook one at a time).
• Cut the dough into 4 pieces with a knife.
• Take one ball and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a round about 18cm/7" in diameter.
• Place 1/3 cup of the Filling into the middle of the rolled out dough.
• Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the Filling (see photo below). Remove as much air as possible from inside then pinch to seal.
• Flatten the ball slightly and shape the flattened disc into a circle using your hands.
• Turn the dough over so the "sealed" side is facing down. Use a rolling pin to roll it out to about 1 1/2 cm / 2/3" thickness. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non stick fry pan over medium heat.
• Place one Paratha into the fry pan and cook the first side for 1 minute 45 seconds. Use an egg flip to check if it is ready to turn - the underside should be golden brown.
• Turn the Paratha over and cook the other side for 1 minute 30 seconds.
• Remove from fry pan onto a wire rack (this stops the underside from going soggy due to sweat) and place into a low oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining Parathas.
• Add a small drizzle of the remaining oil into the pan (you should not need much). Proceed to cook the remaining Parathas.
• Cut into 4 pieces and serve immediately. It can be served with chutney or yoghurt on the side. I find that the Filling has so much flavour that it doesn't need anything on the side.

Steps:

• Knead together the flour, ghee, egg, baking powder, water, milk and salt.
• Divide the dough into equal-sized round balls.
• Roll out each ball into discs with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. (Cover with a slightly damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while you roll out all of them.).
• To prepare the filling, heat the ghee in a frying pan, and saute garlic till light brown.
• Add the mince and green chillies and saute till the mince is cooked.
• Add the remaining ingredients for the stuffing and mix till the stuffing is dry.
• Divide the stuffing into the same number of portions as discs and spoon into the middle of each disc.
• Bring the edges together and seal.

• Roll out each ball into a disc 1/2 inch thick.
