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.

Method:
1. In a
large mixing bowl add in Wheat Flour, Salt and Ghee .Rub everything first and
then slowly add water and mix it to form a fine dough. Cover and let it rest
for 30 minutes. Cook Potatoes and once it cools down mash it roughly with the
help of your hands and set aside.
2. In
another bowl add in the finely chopped coriander leaves and then all the spice
powders mix well and then add in the mashed potato and mix everything well such
that the spice powders are mixed evenly. Now divide the dough into equal sized
balls and take one ball with the help of the hands press it lightly and for a
small cup shaped dough as shown in the picture.
3. Take a
generous scoop of aloo mixture and stuff inside the dough and seal it then flatten
it lightly with the help of hands. Dust the Rolling surface and with the help
of the rolling pin roll it similar to chapatti. Take care that the aloo mixture
doesn’t come out.
4. Heat a
iron skillet once it’s hot add in the rolled aloo paratha cook for 20 sec and
then flip and cook for another 20 secs.

- 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.
- Tastes good when served with Curd or any Raita
