    Makki aur Aloo ka Paratha is an Indian flatbread made with maize flour and spicy potato dough, boiled potato is seasoned with various spices and then rubbed with maize flour to form smooth pliable dough to make Parathas. While the winter is slowly slipping from the seasonal calendar in Southern Indian it is still hard to resist not to make wintertime delicacies for the one last time until the next season of warm winter sun, misty air and chill winter breeze.

    Ingredients

    • 2 Cup maize flour
    • ½ Cup whole wheat flour
    • Salt, as per taste
    • 1 tsp red chili powder
    • 2 tbsp oil + more for cooking paratha
    • Lukewarm water to bind dough
    • For potato masala:
    • 2 medium size boiled potato
    • Salt, as per taste
    • 1 tsp red chili powder
    • 1 tsp turmeric powder
    • 1 tsp mango powder
    • 1 tsp cumin powder

    Directions

    1. To make potato masala, grate boiled potatoes in a bowl. Add in salt and spices. Mix with fingers to combine the seasoning evenly.
    2. To bind dough for the bread, sift flour together in a bowl. Add salt, red chili powder, potato masala and 2 tbsp of oil. Combine the mixture with fingers to get bread crumbs like texture.
    3. Using little water at a time bind soft dough. Knead the dough for 2 - 3 minutes.
    4. Grease dough with little oil cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
    5. Meanwhile heat non stick skillet over medium heat. Line kitchen counter surface with a clean dry plastic sheet. Grease it with 1 tsp of oil. Pinch a portion of dough and roll into a ball and then flatten the dough ball using fingers.
    6. Place the flatten dough ball over the plastic sheet and cover with another plastic sheet. With a rolling pin roll out the dough ball to medium size roti of approximately 3 inch diameter.
    7. Now slowly transfer the paratha from plastic sheet to your palm. Greasing plastic sheet beforehand makes this step easier.
