Ingredients :
Atta - whole wheat flour 4 big cups
Potatoes 6 big - boiled and mashed
Very finely chopped onions 4
Finely chopped coriander leaves 1 cup
Chilli paste 1 tablespoon
Groundnut oil 2 tablespoon to mix in the dough
Groundnut oil 1 cup
Red chilli powder 1 tablespoon
Garam masala powder 1 tablespoon
Kasuri methi 2 tablespoon
Salt to taste
Procedure :
In a mixing bowl add atta, salt, 2 tablespoon groundnut oil and required quantity of water and prepare slightly soft dough and keep aside for about 10 minutes.
In a thick bottomed kadai, heat 2 tablespoon of groundnut oil.
Add chopped onions and saute for one minute.
Now add mashed potato, coriander, chilli paste, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, kasuri methi and salt and mix well and cook for two minutes.
Take off the flame and keep aside for five minutes to cool.
Once the mix turns cold, make round balls from it and keep aside. Here you take care to see that the aloo mix is neither very soft not very hard. It should be smooth like butter, without any lumps.
Now take the atta dough and make round balls.
Roll all the dough balls into round thick small sized pooris.
Take care to see that the number of the pooris match with the potato mix balls.
In the rolled atta circle, sprinkle a little dry atta and keep one stuffing ball.
Cover the roll all around and press the top so that the stuffing is properly packed.
Like this prepare the stuffed rolls for all the parathas.
Now heat the tava and roll out the Paratha, slightly thicker than a normal chapati and cook on the tava putting oil on both the sides.

Finely chopped onion 1 big cup

In a big wide plate or bowl add all the dry ingredients and mix well.
Now add all the vegetables, oil, yogurt and mix well.
Make a medium soft dough, add little water if needed (it depends on how watery or juicy your radish is, you may or may not need water to make the dough)
Make equal size balls from the dough.
Take a dough ball and roll the paratha.
Heat the tava and put the rolled paratha over it and cook on medium heat till a few golden spots appear.
Now apply some oil on the paratha on both the sides and cook by pressing with a spatula to make it golden all over.
Remove from the griddle and serve hot with butter, or yogurt and pickle.
These babies of mine haven't heard the word social distancing. I keep separating them, tie their hands, try to put some discipline in them and make them stand in one place. But like those college students in Ravichandran's movie " Prema Loka" they keep falling on each other! I have around 70 pots ( yeah, I know, I have overcrowded them. And I admit that I am very greedy when it comes to plants 🤠) and I decided to make good of this Home Stay time and teach my babies some discipline. It took me almost 10 days to trim, repot, tie and arrange them neatly.
Guess what!!! By the time I reached from plant one to plant seventy and then turned to look at them - there they were - smiling, giggling, holding hands, leaning on each other and hugging and kissing each other!!! Common!!! Wait at least till I can make a video of all of you standing in your place in a neat, disciplined way. No way!!! Seeing me frowning at them, their friend, a honey bee gave me a sharp sting! Ouch! How rude!!! "No darling!" They told me in unison. " We are neither rude nor do we need any discipline and separation. No social distancing for us. Because we share and spread only health and happiness!!! " Watch the pics here to see how I had arranged them in the beginning.....
