Aloo Paratha (Indian Potato-Stuffed Flatbread)
The result will exceed your wildest expectations! They say every food shrinks down as it cooks — only dough puffs up and grows. That's why pies and stuffed breads are beloved the world over. And though this kind of food takes a bit more time and care, the payoff is worth it, quite literally — especially when you need to feed a whole crowd of kids, and Indian families tend to have plenty of them.

- The dough for aloo paratha is a lot like puri dough. Mix the flour with the salt and rub in the butter. Add the water and knead until the dough is smooth, even, and no longer sticks to your hands. Boil the potatoes in their skins, peel them, and mash them. Heat the ghee in a pan and toss in the cumin. Stir for a few seconds, then add the turmeric, red pepper, and ginger. After a few more seconds, add the potatoes. Fry, stirring constantly, for about five minutes, then stir in the cilantro and lemon juice. Finally, season with salt — the filling is ready. Let it cool while you work with the dough. Divide it into 10 pieces, roll them into balls, and flatten them into rounds. Brush each with ghee and place a tablespoon of filling in the center. Pinch the edges tightly closed and roll the stuffed ball back out into a flatbread — the key is not to let the filling break through. Fry in a skillet on both sides.
