Aloo Parata

Aloo paratha is favourite north Indian breakfast .It is very common there. It is prepared by stuffing a spiced mixture of mashed potato inside the paratha .My first try on aloo Paratha was a disaster I was not able to roll the paratha with the aloo stuffing .Lately I got many tips from my north Indian colleagues and with their help I was able to nail it perfectly. Now that I am confident enough to make these parathas any time.

Aloo Parathas comes in handy as we don’t have to prepare any separate gravy or Korma/Kurma as an accomplishment .It tastes great by itself or just curd. So give a try everyone.

Notes:

• The perfect round shape of the paratha comes only by practice so keep trying.
• Seal the Paratha properly such that the stuffing’s don’t come out.
• Take care while rolling the paratha if you give too much pressure the stuffing’s might come out so roll it lightly.
• Dust the surface while rolling the paratha.
• If the stuffing’s comes out a little it is absolutely ok. If too much comes out you will not be able to roll the paratha properly and end up redoing.
