Potato And Peanuts Stir Fry - A Very Simple And Easy Recipe

Stir fry means to cook the food on high heat by stirring constantly. My today's recipe deals with the same. Its Potato and Peanuts Stir Fry.  Its a very simple dish and easy to make. You can also call it a one pot dish. 

Potato And Peanuts Stir Fry 

The potatoes, I have sliced them thin, if you cut them thick it would take long to get cooked. And as you are stir frying them, the high heat would burn the masala by the time the thick sliced potatoes would cook. You have to keep on stirring constantly else the veggies would stick to the pan and hence get burnt. 

I have roasted the peanuts as it adds the crunch to the dish and also enhances the flavor. Do not powder them completely, crush them coarsely to get the crunchy taste. You can do this manually or in a grinder its up to you. I have done it manually over the chopping board with the rolling pin.

How To Make Punjabi Mooli Paratha / Radish Flatbread / The Authentic Punjabi Recipe

Mooli Paratha or we call it in english as Radish Flatbread is a very

famous stuffed paratha from North India, Punjab. It is also a very common breakfast made in almost all the punjabi families. Mooli Paratha is also from the family of stuffed parathas like Aloo Paratha, Gobi Paratha, paneer paratha and so on.

Punjabi Mooli Paratha Recipe

As radish is high in water content, some first fry it and get its juice dried, mix it with the spices and then stuff it in the parathas.

Some like me, I squeeze out the juice from the grated radish, mix in the spices and then proceed towards the stuffing. If the juice is not squeezed out, rolling the paranthas would be very difficult as the parathas would tend to break because of the moisture.

Always remember do not add salt along with the spices in the grated radish. It has to be added once the stuffing is placed on the paratha to be made, that is just before rolling the paratha. Now this is done because as soon as the salt comes in contact with the radish it would again become moist.

Second very important note is to apply oil on your hands before squeezing out the raddish juice. This would prevent any kind of irritation or itching. I always apply mustard oil.

Cook on low to medium heat. Ensure that both the sides are cooked evenly, should be cooked till brown.

1 tsp Carom seeds (ajwain)

1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder

1 tsp Garam Masala powder

1 tsp Ginger (grated)

Salt

2 tbsp Coriander (finely chopped)

Method:

Mix wheat flour with water and knead the dough. Cover it with a moist cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.


Peel and grate the radish. Squeeze out juice of the raddish by pressing it with your hands. This juice can be used for kneading the dough.

Place a tawa / pan on the gas or induction whatever you would be using, so that by the time we roll the paratha, the tawa / pan would be hot.

Take a small portion of the dough (about the size of a lemon), flatten it in between your palms and roll out into a circle. Keep it aside.

Dust some flour and flip it. Dust flour on the other side and roll out into a bigger circle now. Remember when you cover do not roll on the same side, flip and roll.
Its my personal experience, if u flip and roll both the dough circles would be rolled evenly.

Tips:

Cook it on low to medium heat, it would evenly cook and paratha and make it crispy at the same time.

Apply oil on your hands while squeezing out the juice to avoid irritation and itching.

Do not add salt in the stuffing mixture, it would make it moist and hence parathas would break while rolling. Instead sprinkle it on the stuffing after its placed on the paratha.

The squeezed out juice from radish can be used for kneading the dough

Mix well and cook it for another couple of minutes, so that the spices would be completely incorporated in the potatoes. Here our stuffing is ready. Keep it aside.

mix well and cook for 2 minutes

Now let us begin with the making of bread rolls. We need to fill this stuffing.

Take the bread slices and cut off and remove the sides of the bread. 

Then take one slice, dip it in water and press it gently in between your palms to remove the water. You need to press it gently or else the bread would break into pieces.

Now, place the potato and green peas stuffing on the bread, seal the edges and form a roll. There should be no gap left, else while frying the roll would open up.

Heat the oil to medium and put in the rolls.

Serve it hot with green chutney, sauce or any dip of your choice.

Tips:

Use fresh bread, else the bread would break into pieces when dipped in water.

Fry it in medium hot oil, if the oil is not hot the bread rolls would open up, and, if the oil is too hot the bread rolls would turn dark brown superficially and would remain unevenly cooked.

This recipe would give you medium spicy bread rolls, add in more green chillies and red chilli powder to make it more spicy.

Use garam masala from the market if punjabi garam masala is not available

Make these Bread Rolls as a tea time snack and make your family and loved ones go food-a-licious.
