| Preparation Time: | 30 minutes |
| Servings: | 6 Paranthas |
| Easy |
Ingredients
| Wheat flour dough | Of 1 cup flour |
| Boiled and coarsely grated potatoes | 1 medium (about 1.5 cups) |
| Urad Dal Chilke | 1 cup |
| Salt | 3/4 tsp |
| Chopped green chillies (optional) | 2-3 |
| Chopped coriander leaves | 1/4 cup |
| Red chili powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Oil | 3 tbsp |
| Wheat flour to help roll paranthas | 1 cup |
Method
- Soak urad dal for 4-5 hours.
- Rub off the peels of urad dal and drain them thoroughly.
- Mix potatoes, urad peels, coriander leaves, green chillies, salt and red chili powder lightly. Keep aside the stuffing.
- Divide dough into 6 equal balls.
- Roll a ball using dry wheat flour. Top it with a spoon full of stuffing. Pinch the sides together and make it a ball again.
- Roll it to about 4 inches in diameter. Use wheat flour to roll it. If you are new to it, it may become unwieldy but don’t worry if stuffing starts to come out.
- Place it on a heated griddle. Flip the side after about 1 minute.
- Oil both sides with about 1/4 tsp of oil on each side. Press it with spatula and cook till it’s lighly brown on each side. Flip sides every once in a while. Repeat with other dough balls. Chilke Ke Paranthe is ready
- Serve it hot with yogurt and pickle.
Notes
- If you like crisp paranthas, use a little more oil while frying paranthas.
- Make sure that dough and stuffing are at the same temperature for easy rolling.
- If the dough is hard, stuffing comes out of the dough while rolling it. So add some water and knead it again to make it soft.
- Paranthas freeze well if you don’t make them too crisp.
- Alternatively you can also knead the chilke in the dough with some basic spices.
