Instructions
Prep
- Boil the potatoes. Let them cool.
- Chop the onions and green chilies.
- Heat up a castiron skillet. Once hot, add oil followed by cumin seeds. Saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the onions. Saute for 5 minutes until slightly brown.
- This is what you should have.
Make the Potato Masala
- Peel the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes.
- Add the spices - mango powder, garam masala, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.
- Now add the sauteed onions from earlier.
- Add fresh cilantro and ginger.
- Mix well.
Prepare the Yogurt Dipping Sauce (wing it)
- In a bowl, add yogurt. Dilute with a little water if need be. Add salt, red chili powder, chat masala, and cumin powder.
- Mix well.
Make the Quesadillas
- Heat up a castiron skillet on low-medium heat. Once hot, spray avocado oil. Place a whole wheat tortilla on the skillet. I like Trader Joe's Olive Oil Whole Wheat Tortillas. Flip the tortilla.
- Add Mexican cheese to half of the quesadilla.
- Add roughly 1/3 - 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes.
- Top with more cheese over potatoes.
- Fold the other half of the quesadilla and cook on both sides. Feel free to use a lid to cover the pan so the cheese melts.
- Aloo Paratha Quesadilla is ready. Cut into thirds.
