Aloo Paratha is a classic North Indian comfort dish—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with a flavourful potato filling.

What is Aloo Paratha?

It’s a stuffed flatbread made with whole wheat dough filled with a spiced potato mixture, rolled and cooked on a hot tawa with ghee until golden and crisp.

Main Ingredients:

1. Atta (whole wheat flour) – 2 cups

2. Boiled potatoes – 3–4

3. Onion – 1 (finely chopped)

4. Green chilli – 1–2

5. Jeera powder – 1 tsp

6. Coriander powder – 1 tsp

7. Salt – to taste

8. Oil – 1–2 tbsp

9. Ghee – for cooking

How to make Aloo Paratha

1. Knead atta with water and a pinch of salt into a soft dough. Rest for 15–20 minutes.

2. Heat oil in a pan, add onion and green chilli, sauté till soft. Add jeera powder, coriander powder, salt, and mashed boiled potatoes. Mix well and cook for 2–3 minutes. Let it cool.

3. Roll a small portion of dough into a circle. Fold two opposite sides and pinch to form an oyster-like shape. Place a ball of potato filling on one side, fold over, seal, and gently roll again.

4. Cook on a hot cast iron tawa, applying ghee on both sides, till golden brown and crisp.

Expert Tips:

1. Don’t overfill to avoid tearing while rolling.

2. Cook on medium heat for even crispiness.
