Paratha Power!

Last week we decided to ask two of our good friends to come over for lunch and i tried my hand at making the paratha :) , a north-Indian specialty.
My Chiti is a paratha expert and so i called her up for advice on how to make them , but as it turned out she had gone out shopping(duh!) and so i ended up asking her daughter , my cousin who is studying in new jersey.
so she briefed me on how her mum makes the paratha . I started with the very basic Aloo paratha . Here is how i made it :
Ingredients:
Whole Wheat flour-2 cups
Aloo-4
Onions-1 big yellow one or a red one
Green chillis-2
Garam masala
turmeric-just a pinch
red chilli powder-1tsp(optional)
Jeera-1tsp
sugar-1tsp
Coriander-a bunch (finely chopped)
salt
chaat masala -1tsp (Optional)
ghee
How i made it:

1. First i pressure cooked the potatoes till tender and grated them finely(This makes it easier and smoother while rolling out the dough)
2. Then i added the garam masala, salt ,sugar ,green chilli(finely chopped) ,Jeera ,onions,ghee/oil ,coriander and mixed it thoroughly.
3. Next i slowly added the flour and mixed it into a smooth dough adding hot water if necessary( since potatoes themselves let out water be careful adding extra water) and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.The tava should be hot for the parathas to cook so make sure the tava is really hot. 
4. Next i made the dough into balls of equal size and rolled them out flat (not too flat!thick parathas are what we want!)
5. I put the parathas on the hot tava with a little butter on either side else the parathas will turn out rough .

Serve them hot with pickle,onion raita and cucumber by the side and its absolute heaven :)

Note:The parathas can be made with Aloo,methi leaves,paneer etc
