Aloo Chapathi

Aloo Chapathi, is my favorite. Before and all I thought it is tough to prepare, takes long time and only expert can prepare it, once after i saw Aloo Chapathi recipe preparation in internet then i taught of trying it still i had a hesitation thought i made it perfect in my first attempt. My dad loves it. Presently he was making ready of my marriage menu after eating Aloo Chapathi, he included this to the menu. My mom also gave a credit that I have learnt cooking quickly and tasty. Now Aloo Chapathi prepared by me became my families favorite food. We started cooking Aloo Chapathi often in our home for dinner and break fast too.

Notes :
     The chapathi thickness is purely of your choice.
     For Chapathi dough instead of water you can use the whey water or any vegetable water.
     While frying Omam and Onion don't over fry or burn it.
      Give continuous stir in step 6 & 7 to avoid charring.
      Don't wash the potatoes in running or clod water, because it will become saggy and taste's low. Allow it to cool naturally once it cools down soon drain the water and peel it when it comes to room temperature. 
    Whistle count is purely depends upon your cooker. Tips: I used to off flame when ever no water  drains out from the cooker when the whistle comes. 
     While rolling don't press too much as you do for normal chapathi. Roll it gently.
