Aloo Paratha

We got arugula flowers in our CSA and I found this amazing recipe online for Aloo Paratha (which is a stuffed Indian style flat bread) with arugula flowers. They were delicious!

To make the dough mix in a shallow, flat bowl or pan:
1 cup whole wheat flower
1/2 teaspoon salt

Drop by drop add warm water until you get a sticky bread-like dough, cover and set aside.

To make the stuffing:
1 large potato - peeled, boiled and mashed
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tbsp fresh arugula flowers

Mix all the stuffing items together well for the stuffing.

In the palm of your hand, create small balls or the dough, and flatten then. Take a spoonful of the filling, place in the center of the dough and gather up all the dough around the filling, then roll it out.

Heat a skillet on medium-high heat, add a tiny amount of ghee (clarified butter) and cook each paratha individually on both sides until browned.
