PURI & ALOO-PANEER PARATHA
I wanted a bhatura for the classic combination of chhole-bhature (chickpeas with fried puffy bread), but I didn’t want to waste the oil it takes to fry a giant bhatura, so I went with smaller puris instead.
Enough dough for 4 big puris, but I only wanted 2, so then I turned the rest of the dough into aloo parathas – flatbreads stuffed with spiced potato, to which I added a good scoop of ricotta just because I had it on hand.
One heaves a sigh of relief when a puri puffs up as intended, but a paratha puffing up on the tava / griddle elicits a chuckle.
