I have never eaten paratha before.  Well, until last week that is.  I’ve often seen it in the frozen section in the local Bhatbhateni store but never thought to give it a try.  Then one sunny day at work for lunch we were served fresh, handmade potato parathas.

Then I searched and searched and couldn’t find the recipe until I looked in my little Nepalese cookbook.  Lo and behold… alu/aloo paratha!

Aloo Paratha Recipe

Paratha is originally from India but is eaten here in Nepal as well.  You can have plain paratha, or have it stuffed with ingredients like potatoes, onions, and more.

After having hot ‘n fresh paratha straight from the griddle, the frozen pre-made ones don’t really do them justice.  So try this handmade, easy recipe for cooking (potato) paratha below!

Ingredients

Serves 2-3 | Preparation time 20-25 minutes | Cooking time 10-15 minutes

  • Boiled potatoes               200 grams
  • Chopped onions              3 tbsp
  • Green coriander              2 tbsp
  • Butter                                 1 tbsp
  • Ginger/garlic paste         1 tbsp
  • Cumin powder                 1/2 tsp
  • Red chili powder             as required
  • Wheat flour (ata)            as required
  • Garam masala                  to taste
  • Salt                                      to taste

That’s it! Now let’s see what we need to do in order to cook this delicious potato flatbread.

Directions: What to do

Follow these ten easy steps in order to make a hearty potato-stuffed tasty flatbread.

  1. Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them into a large bowl
  2. Mix the grated potatoes with the above ingredients in one container (chopped onion, coriander leaves, ginger/garlic paste, cumin powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt)
  3. Now you’ll need to make your dough with the wheat flour (wheat flour + water)
  4. Roll out your kneaded dough in a circle on a flour-dusted board (preferably wood/bamboo)
  5. Place above mixture into the center of the rolled out dough
  6. Bring all the edges together in the middle
  7. Roll out the dough evenly into a circular disc once more
  8. Add butter to medium-heated pan and place round aloo paratha
  9. Cook on both sides, flipping often
  10. Bon appétit!

Wrapping it up for aloo paratha

Hope you enjoyed this yummy recipe.  Feel free to send your photos or let me know how the recipe turned out in the comment section below!

I have not tried onion paratha yet, but I bet it’s just as good.  Perhaps next time I’ll make a mixture of both? 😉 If you have any other recipes similar to this one, send it my way! I’d love to hear similar recipes to paratha as it’s so good, simple to make, and fulfilling!

Speaking of all this food makes my tummy rumble! Tonight on Bri’s dinner plate will be a mixture of grilled paneer, cabbage, and cauliflower with turmeric powder, veggie masala, and cream, with a little bit of salt and paprika to taste!

"From Santa Catarina Palopó" 💜 I saw her gigg "From Santa Catarina Palopó" 💜

I saw her giggling and chatting with a friend from across the street and, despite my shyness, waltzed over to ask if I could take her photo. 

She was simply radiating sitting there; an amateur portrait photographer's dream. Except I don't even own a portrait lens and this was only the second time ever in my life that I whisked up the courage to ask for something that feels so... intimate. 

But without hesitation, she gazed into my lens and pierced my heart. It was like being drawn to a joyous light that I just couldn't resist. So I dared to ask. 

As soon as she said yes, I hurriedly clicked a few shots; rushing so as to not waste her time. After showing her portraits to her, she gave me a big nod and said softly, "de Santa Catarina Palopó" with immense pride.

I think her sweet smile & kind eyes speak for themselves... ✨

10 years together 💛😱 It’s not our annive 10 years together 💛😱 

It’s not our anniversary (it was technically last month, depending on who you ask) and we're not even celebrating Valentine's Day today, but...

I just wanted to remind the internet that I have a pretty badass partner (& not to mention the best cat dad) who puts up with both my silly madness and my need to live around the world in pursuit of adventure. 

If I have any advice for love and long-term relationships, it's this:

Keep choosing each other;
again, and again, and again,
over everything else, no matter what you go through. 

❤️❤️❤️

Can you guess which one of us first "friend-requested" the other all those years ago? 😉

On every adventure, I’ve thought of you. I am On every adventure, I’ve thought of you. 

I am the granddaughter of a guiding light, a woman so lovely and gentle and spiritual and strong that she attracted to her all walks of life. 

I was the butterfly enamored by her glow. The ship lost at sea that found safety at her shores. 

On every adventure, I’ll think of you. On every adventure, you’ll be with me.

Add this hike to your Caribbean bucket list! ☀️ 

Guadeloupe is rich in breathtaking, diverse landscapes — La Pointe des Châteaux is no exception! Magnificent rocky pillars jut out of the ocean & create a magnificent view that’s best experienced at sunrise from atop Morne Pavillon, the hill marked by the large cross on its summit.

TIPS FOR VISITING:

🚗 Like everywhere in Gwada, you'll need a rental! Parking is free.
☀️ Sunrise and sunset are around 6am and 6pm
🥾 The hike itself only takes 15-20 minutes and is easy!
🦀 Watch for wildlife and other critters (this is a protected heritage site!)
🌊 Plenty of beaches are nearby, including a nude beach and a private beach with cool wave splashing action called "La Douche" (meaning shower 🚿)

I'M READY FOR YA, 2022 ✌️ HERE'S WHY: ✍️ I'M READY FOR YA, 2022 ✌️ HERE'S WHY:

✍️ 2022 is going to be the year I become a published author. 

💛  It's the year I celebrate 10 years of love & adventure with my best friend. 

💻  It's the year I register my LLC and level up my business. 

🌎  It's the year I hit my bucket list of "slow living in 10 countries" as a nomad and the year I travel and discover even more destinations. 

And some folks will think (do think), "overnight success." But the reality is (as my sweet friend @redwhiteadventures reminded me), it's been about putting one foot in front of the other -- just like on a hike up a mountain (or in this case, to the cliffsides overlooking the Caribbean and Atlantic!). 

2022 is going to be the view from the top!! (Sure, I may get there, and see another summit I want to climb. But I'm so ready for the challenge(s), the journey, & the adventure!) ⛰ 

What are you excited about in 2022?!
