I have taken this recipe from Manjula aunty, no she is not my aunt,she has a very famous blog called manjulaskitchen.com, believe me if you watch her videos you will start calling her aunty too,most of her viewers do.I have made few changes to the filling,coz I like it spicy. this  recipe makes 8 aloo parotas.This is our breakfast dish,we have it with  yogurt and pickle.



Ingredients

2 cups wheat flour
water as required to make soft dough
1 tsp salt

Ingredients for potato fillings
4 medium potatoes (boiled and mashed)

* Divide the dough and potatoes to 8 equal parts. Potato balls should be larger than the dough balls.

  2. I feel small parotas would rather b be better than the bigger ones, ...coz all the stuffings comes out in bigger one....

    Also rolling should be done gently than harder as for chapatis....
