Aloo paratha.
It's only when I looked at Wikipedia that I found out that this is supposed to be a breakfast dish. Never mind, we had it for dinner.
I'd describe it as a qualified success. It tasted pretty good. I assume that there's a knack for rolling out the dough so that the filling doesn't leak out. Perhaps I just needed to use more dough for each one. But like most recipes I've used, the quantities seemed wrong. I ran out of paratha long before I ran out of aloo.
If I was going to do this again, I'd probably make the potatoes a bit more curryish. Using a recipe from How To Cook Everything Vegetarian, the potato is boiled and mashed with coriander, chilli, salt, pepper and lemon juice. I added a touch of turmeric, but it still didn't really have a strong flavour.
Before I found out that it is intended for breakfast, I figured that if I did it again I'd probably do it as a side dish with a good hearty vegetable curry. It might also work quite well with curried cube potato, wrapped like a dumpling rather than rolled like a pancake.
There's also a fair bit of cleaning up to do. But that's normal when you're working with flour and dough.
