CAPSICUM ALOO PARATHA +KOKUM MINT CHUTNEY


It’s stuffed roti with ground capsicum ( no

green chillies) and mashed potato with a sweet

tangy chutney.

I have posted aloo paratha recipe before , but

this one is a little different from that recipe.

As it was the menu for dinner , I wanted to

make a less spicy one.With a sprinkle, of ajwain

and dried fenugreek leaves,the aroma and taste

was excellent with the kokum ( garcinia

cambogia)chutney.

Now to the recipe

INGREDIENTS

Wheat flour ( I’m not specifying the quantity)

1-2 tblsp.dried fenugreek leaves

1/2 tsp.ajwain

1/2 tsp.black cummin seeds

2-3 tblsp. oil

salt

Ghee for frying

METHOD

Mix all together and bind to a soft dough and

set aside.

Filling

1 small capsicum ( any color you prefer)

A small piece of ginger

4-5 boiled and peeled potatoes

2 tsp.dry mango powder ( amchur powder)

A pinch of asafoetida

A pinch of nutmeg powder

Pepper powder ( optional)

Salt to taste

First grind the capsicum,and ginger to a paste

Mix the paste with the rest of the ingredients

listed for filling .

Divide dough into preferred portions.Shape

each portion like a cup ,and keep enough filling

Seal the edges . Flatten on the frying pan itself ,

or roll on a floured board lightly. ( not too thin)

and cook in ghee on both sides till done.
