The all time great Aloo Paratha

Indians, specially from North, rarely like their rotis plain. Instead they prefer them stuffed with various vegetables. These stuffed Indian breads are known as parathas. They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner, either with a vegetable or dal or Curd and various Raithas. Given here is the most popular, Aloo Paratha recipe :

The ingredients for Aloo Paratha are:

  1. 3 cups of wheat flour
  2. 2 mashed potatoes
  3. Ghee
  4. Finely chopped coriander leaves
  5. 3 finely chopped green chilies
  6. Finely chopped ginger
  7. 1 teaspoon of mango powder
  8. 1 teaspoon of chili powder


Knead the flour into dough and keep aside. Then place the mashed potatoes in a separate dish and all other ingredients except for the ghee. Then roll out the dough into medium thick circles. Stuff some the potato mix into this and make a ball. Then roll this out till flat. Grease a hot tava with ghee and place the stuffed dough over it and let it roast. Remove from the tava and repeat the same with rest of the dough.
