Aloo Paratha

Aloo Paratha is a popular and comforting Indian flatbread stuffed with a spiced potato filling. This classic North Indian dish combines the goodness of a crispy, whole wheat bread (paratha) with a flavorful mixture of mashed potatoes and spices.

To make Aloo Paratha, the dough is prepared by mixing whole wheat flour with water and a pinch of salt. The dough is then divided into small balls and rolled out into flat discs. Meanwhile, the potato filling is prepared by mashing boiled potatoes and adding spices like cumin, coriander, green chilies, and garam masala. The potato mixture is placed in the center of the rolled-out dough, and the dough is folded over, sealing the filling inside. It's then rolled out into a flatbread again, ready for cooking.

Aloo parathas are cooked on a hot griddle or skillet with a bit of ghee or oil, resulting in a crispy and golden crust. The interior is soft and filled with spiced potato goodness. These parathas are often served with yogurt, pickles, and sometimes a dollop of butter. Aloo Paratha is a wholesome and delightful meal enjoyed across India, known for its comforting, homemade flavors.
