Spicy Aloo
February 11, 2011
I really enjoy diverse cuisines and to my surprise I located a food truck serving Indian cuisine in NYC. Food trucks are serving coffee, ice creams to region specific cuisines all over the country these days. I ordered the aloo paratha and it was delicious, the spicy filling and bread was a great and light for a much needed late afternoon snack.
Aloo Paratha is a potato bread dish made with whole wheat flour and stuffed with the potato filling. Instead of regular whipped potatoes try out my recipe below:
Spicy Aloo
Serves 6
Idaho Potatoes, 2 pieces
Coriander, 2 Tbsp ground
Cumin, 2 Tbsp ground
Turmeric, 1 Tbsp ground
Tamarind Paste, 2 Tbsp
Ginger, 2 Tbsp puree
Cayenne Pepper, to taste
Chilli Powder, 2 Tbsp ground
Olive Oil or Ghee, to taste
Kosher Salt to taste
Boil, drain and mash the potatoes with ghee and kosher salt. Mix remaining items with olive oil and fold into mashed potatoes. Serve alone or with a paratha or a lean piece of protein.
Enjoy!
