Check off ingredients as you gather them.
In a large mixing bowl, add wheat flour, mashed potatoes, finely chopped onion, green chilies, fresh coriander, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, kasuri methi, and salt.
Mix all the ingredients well with your hands so that the moisture from the potatoes is absorbed by the flour.
Gradually add a little water at a time and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Divide the dough into equal-sized medium balls (loiyan).
Dust a dough ball with dry flour and roll it gently into a round roti of medium thickness using a rolling pin.
Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium-high heat. Place the rolled roti on the hot tawa. Flip it when tiny bubbles appear on the surface. Apply a little ghee or oil on both sides and press gently with a spatula.
Roast until golden-brown spots appear on both sides and the roti is cooked through.
Serve these hot, soft Aloo Rotis with cold yogurt, mango pickle, or your favorite chutney.
These Aloo Roti are soft, flavorful, and perfect for a hearty breakfast or everyday Indian meal. Mashed potatoes add natural moisture and softness to the dough, while spices, onion, green chilies, and Kasuri Methi give the rotis a delicious savory flavor. Serve them hot with chilled yogurt, mango pickle, or your favorite chutney.
Use completely cooled and finely mashed potatoes to keep the dough smooth and lump-free. Add water gradually because the moisture in the potatoes and onions can vary. Keep the dough soft but not sticky, and avoid using excessive dry flour while rolling. Cook the rotis on a properly heated tawa with a little ghee for soft centers and beautifully golden spots.
Yes, you can easily skip the onions if you prefer a no-onion version or for festive days.
Potatoes contain a lot of moisture. Always mix the potatoes with the flour first before adding any water. Add water very sparingly, only if needed.
Stack them in an insulated casserole lined with a paper towel, or wrap them in foil while they are still warm. Smearing a little extra ghee helps keep them soft.
