ALOO AND PUDHINA (POTATO & MINT) PARANTHAS
Here is one more in the list of paranthas in this blog. The Aloo and Pudhina Parantha stands out by its minty aroma. Please ensure that the mint leaves you use are fresh to get the best results. The combination of potatoes and mint leaves with all the spices gives this parantha a very special taste. While in North India paranthas traditionally form part of breakfast, in the South this practice is less common and these are part of either lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
Potato, (Aloo), boiled and mashed, 1 cup
Mint Leaves, (Pudhina), finely chopped, 1 cup
Wheat Flour, (Gehun ka Atta), 2 cups + some for dusting the parantha dough
Green Chillies, crushed, 2
Ginger, (Adrak), grated, 1" piece
Red Chilly Powder, 1/2 tsp or to taste
Turmeric (Haldi) Powder, 1/2 tsp
Coriander and Cumin Powder, (Dhania and Jeera Powder), 1tsp
Lemon Juice, 1 tsp
Salt, as per taste
Oil, 2 tbsp or as required, to make the dough and the paranthas
