- Aloo Paratha:
For the Dough
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 3/4 to 1 cup water * (see notes)
- Salt
Filling
- 3-4 russet potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon amchur powder (dried mango powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
Dough:
1. In a bowl, mix the whole wheat flour oil and water. Add salt to taste.
2. Knead the dough until it is smooth.
3. Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes
Filling:
1. Boil the potatoes until completely cooked. Peel the potatoes and let them cool.
2. Mashed potatoes with a potato masher. Ensure there are no chunks in the potato mash- it should be smooth. Add in the red chili powder, turmeric powder, amchur powder, cumin and chopped cilantro.
3. Mix well until everything is combined and add salt to taste
4. Divide the filling equally and form into balls.
Paratha
1. Divide the dough into equal parts. If the dough is the size of a lemon, the size of the filling should be half of a lemon.
2. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 4 inches in diameter.
3. Place the potato filling in the center of the dough. Bring in all the edges of the dough to the middle to securely pack the filling inside the dough.
4. Roll the dough (stuffed with the filling) once again to flatten out the paratha. The paratha should be about 7 inches in diameter.
5. Turn on your skillet and add some oil. Cook the paratha on each side and press the paratha occasionally so it is cooked well. Cook until slightly browned
6. Serve with Indian pickle or vegan yogurt and enjoy!

How to neutralize heat of spice: 1. Always adjust spice as per your taste. 2. Add chili (cut in small pieces) initially in hot oil or you can simply avoid chili while using mustard oil for cooking. 3.Use Dahi (made of milk) or mixture of Dahi-Pudina for cooling effect (to neutralize heat of spice) with north indian food. 4. Use coconut milk (add it during cooking) for cooling effect in south indian dishes. Watch some indian youtube channel (Home-cooking style). 5. In case of vegan, heat of spice can also be reduce by vegan cream, vegetable oil, something with citrus (lemon juise) etc. 6. Use Daal for protean intake. 7. The mixture of Daal-rice or Rajma (needed to be cooked intelligently)-rice is excellent.

[@Aniruddha197]

You should have eaten the bhaji with normal bread not toast , it would have added more fun and taste

[@hopegold883]

Great idea for a video!! Featuring “authentic” youtubers from the culture, and following their directions. They want people to cook their recipes. But you put them up there, not just rip off their stuff. Loved it.

[@hopegold883]

But it makes me so sad to see Jasmine suffer! Just cut back on the chili’s. It’s fine.

My boyfriend is indian and almost everything is already vegan🤩 dal tarka, samosa, pakora, aloo tikki, pani purri, eggplant curry, there’s even a nutri curry that’s made of soy chunks it’s literally the best thing I’ve ever had!

[@0arjun077]

There is no vegan concept in Indian culture but surprisingly there are many recipes that are already vegan and also most of vegetarian dish can be made vegan easily.

[@pamelas3097]

I’m half Indian and you all did a great job. I eat my aloo paratha with a yogurt sauce.

[@0arjun077]

Imagine being an Indian and couldn't eat what my Grandmother eats. Her spice tolerance is on stratosphere.

[@clothestravel]

The vegetable korma looked delicious! Can you do a video dedicated to Ethiopian cuisine? It’s so incredibly flavorful, and easy to eat vegan or plant-based.

[@melopepo]

This series is awesome! I love how you give the spotlight to other content creators while also showing respect by crediting people from certain cultures who share authentic recipes 🙌

[@consciousobserver629]

Indian spices are just amazing. Jasmine saying "omg" repeatedly says it all.

[@shrutim3006]

Oooh most awaited video. Love it ❤️ Tip - For the pakoras, you can just rest the veggies in the chickpea flour with some salt and all the same spices from the recipe in it. The flour sticks to the veggies because of the veggies sweating and that way you don’t have to add a lot of water. Makes the pakoras really crispy 😍

[@madhavtibrewal3206]

That paratha was very thick....Needed to roll more. That was a lot of pickle for a single bite. You just have to have a touch of pickle.

[@gypsygurl]

100% agree.. Indian pickles is just a touch of pickle..

[@Ax9005]

I agree but as a kid i always ate it like a vegetable and my veggies like pickle! Really pissed off my mother 😂

[@nagarjunreddy7833]

i dont eat the whole pickle piece in one go, I just take small tiny bites and eat like one piece per meal

[@danielbrowning7460]

I love Indian food! I can't wait to try these recipes. Thanks for the great video.

[@Ax9005]

You should get some cegan unsweetened yogurt (i like to add himalayan pink salt to it) and dip the paratha in in. It counters the spice. The mango pickle (i couldnt see it but guessing) is raw mango and I absolutely love it. Ofcourse, plenty of sweet mango pickle to. My grandma used to make sweet pickle with gur(jaggery).

[@kiddocter13]

I highly recommend looking into Vegan Richa's blog and cookbooks...she has so many AMAZING vegan Indian recipes!!!

[@diptanshusinha2333]

Pakodas were spot on. Love to see more content on vegan Indian recipes.

[@simrankaur_96]

Love that you guys did this video! It was so great to watch! Also aloo parathas haveeee to be served with yoghurt 😍 and I'd highly recommend finding a less spicy mango pickle (achaar) because it's superrrrrrrr good with all Indian food!

[@jt9191]

Thanks so much for this great video! I love Indian food but could never figure out what to try to cook. Great ideas and I appreciate all the hard work you put into this!

[@liasnclr]

So my second eldest daughter is called Jasmine. My second eldest son is called Chris so this is like watching family. Plus half my kids are vegetarian along with myself so this is going to be so much fun.

[@hopegold883]

When I make pakoras, I use half rice flower, and it gets super crispy.

[@shannon2776]

First of all, I love how you are featuring other content creators in this series, what a great idea! There are so many talented and knowledgable creators out there, this is a great way to experience new people and new food. Also, I absolutely love all of the Indian food that I have tried, and I can't wait to try out these recipes as well, you're definitely selling it (except for Chris' 20 out of 100 review ;P). I agree that Indian cuisine is very spice-forward and flavourful and I absolutely love it! I am loving this series! :)

[@hollyferay8131]

I love Indian food! The first 4 look amazing.

[@ashley-jy4xo]

y'all put so much work into ur videos I love it, underrated Chanel

[@mrgyani]

That was so nice of you to try it despite the spices. And Chris, you had too much pickle in one bite (2nd recipe) . And yet were so cool about it.

[@nehasomthankar632]

you can also eat aloo paratha with butter vegan butter or you can put vegan cheese on the top of the aloo paratha to calm down the spice You can also put only cauliflower or only spinich in the pakoda batter or use just onions if you add just onions you don't have to add too much of water in batter

[@gilliangodden3386]

Out of all your videos I watched this is the one that made me subscribe 😊 can't wait to try these recipes

[@DikshaDivaDixit]

Lovely video! Next time you make Aloo Paratha, add some chopped onions to the potato mixture, it really bumps up the flavor 😁💚 Also is you cook down a few tomatoes with ginger garlic paste, fresh corriander, cumin, turmeric, black seed, salt and sugar, it makes a great chutney to go with it!

[@themagicknightress7132]

Pat of butter (optional (but not really))

[@gypsygurl]

Chris & Jasmine...Loving your world cooking series! In North India where Aloo Paratha is very popularly eaten as a Sunday morning breakfast, they have it with plain yogurt sometimes garnished with salt + red chili powder or chaat masala (you can get that from Indian store).

[@tshreyu]

I only found your channel. I love you guys. It feels honest. Also, Indians are very flexible. Make our food with the spice level that you can enjoy... Just enjoy food. That's the whole point..

[@margarett_b]

7:14 Definitely, potato+bread is such a comforting combo! And I suppose not without reason she suggested some coconut yoghurt with it :D Perfect for cooling down that spice!

[@harshith.aj9920]

I do this in a slightly different way. I mix the potato, seasoning and spices with the dough ( Like a Gnocchi). Then I roll it into a paratha and cook it on a skillet and apply some butter or Ghee.

[@ranusharavindranathan1114]

My favorite series! Such an awesome way to showcase talent, can't wait for the next once

[@TheADAKing]

First! Love Indian food!!

[@margarett_b]

I think most people have only made a few westernized Indian recipes and since I am one of them, I am always happy to learn more as I am honestly in love with this flavourful and aromatic cuisine! Plus, as always, I adore the cooperation aspect of this series - makes each and every video so unique! . Anyways, sending you lots and lots of love guys! Stay safe and have a lovely rest of the week!

[@kosmicsyd7922]

Try eating Indian food with vegan coconut yogurt next time! It def helps balance out the spice

[@OneBraveSoulBeauty]

The spice from green chillies definitely sneaks up on you!

[@manusaxena6691]

Also pakora is great with tamarind chutney or coriander chutney

[@AthynVixen]

Love this series.. they are all so interesting . I'm not sure what cuisine to suggest. maybe some authentic African. I'd suggest Cuban but i think that would be kinda hard to Veganise.. how about some Scandanavian cuisine?

Love this video and the recipes look delish! Hey, Jasmine, just a quick tip about eating spicy foods. Try drinking some almond, soy or oat milk to cool down the burn. Water only makes it worse just fyi :)

[@SunFellow941]

I cook mostly Indian. I never use red chili powder (although I'm told Kashmiri chili powder is mild) because I have IBS. Use green cayenne peppers (not Thai chilis which are hotter) and slice them down the middle and scrape out the seeds and white fleshy inside-- then your dishes will be flavorful but not hot. Your kitchen will even smell like Indian cooking the next day! I watch the youtube channel Vegan Singh. Vegan Singh 2.24K subscribers. Another youtuber, Harshdeep Swami, cooks oil-free.

[@katherineadams5824]

Such a great idea! And all the Indian recipes looked delicious 🤤 As a Brazilian, I’d like to recommend Marília Archangelo (@mariliaarchangelo), Leonardo Kazuya (@roledevegano), Carol Mussi (@mussinha_carol) and Guilherme Lima (@veggui). They are amazing! Brazilian food is delicious and honestly I’m tired of people thinking Brazilian food only consists of what is served in steakhouses 😑. Our cuisine has so much more to offer!
