    What is aloo paratha?

    Aloo paratha is a popular north Indian flatbread made with potatoes. Aloo means "potato" and paratha is "stuffed flatbread". It is a perfect appetizer or main course. The dough is simple to make and can be prepared in minutes. The potatoes are gently cooked, mashed and then mixed with spices to create a delicious flavourful stuffing. The dough is then rolled out and shaped into small rounds or squares. The potatoes are then stuffed into the dough and then fried until golden and crispy. Serve warm with yogurt or green chutney

    There are many variations of aloo paratha, but the most common is with potatoes and spices. Some variations include paneer paratha and onion aloo paratha.

    How to make aloo paratha: step by step

    To make dough for the paratha

    Combine wheat flour, and salt into a large bowl and mix well.

    Slowly add water and make a soft and smooth dough. Add oil to the top of the dough to prevent drying. Cover with a cloth and keep aside until potato stuffing is prepared.

    Then divide the dough into equal 8 or 10 equal parts.

    Into a bowl, add the cooled potatoes and mash them using a masher.

    Add red chilli, coriander, cumin and chaat masala powder and mix well.

    Add grated ginger, green chillies, salt and finely chopped coriander leaves and combine well.

    Divide the mixture into equal parts and make it big or small as per your taste.

    Take a little bit bigger size dough than the stuffing. Roll the dough into a small disc and place the stuffing as shown above.

    Fold the dough as shown above to cover the stuffing fully and roll it into a flatbread slowly without the stuffing coming out

    Heat a Tawa on medium flame and place the rolled bread on it. Fry on both sides

    Apply a little oil on both sides and fry until you see small golden brown dots on both sides

    Serve hot aloo paratha with curd or mango pickle or tomato pickle

    Substitutions

    • Replace chaat masala with garam masala or amchur powder.
    • Use clarified butter/ghee in place of oil for frying the parathas.

    Variations

    • Add boiled and mashed veggies like carrot, peas and cauliflower to make healthier parathas
    • You can add grated paneer to make a paneer aloo paratha.

    Storage

    Wrap the leftover parathas in foil and keep them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

    Before serving remove the parathas out of the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.

    Tips and tricks

    Boil potatoes until they are just soft and don't overcook them.

    After boiling the potatoes drain the water completely and allow it to stand for a few minutes

    Potatoes should be mashed completely and there should not be any chunks. Otherwise while rolling the paratha, the filling will tear and it will be difficult to roll.

    If the dough becomes sticky, add a couple of spoons of flour and knead well or if it's dry add a little bit of water and knead.

    Make sure the Tawa is hot enough before placing the rolled paratha.

    Notes:

    • Skip green chillies if you are making for kids or toddlers.
    • Adjust the spices according to your taste

    FAQ

    What can I serve with this aloo paratha?

    Aloo paratha tasted good on its own, but its usually served with yogurt or pickle or butter

    Is this aloo paratha vegan?

    Yes, this paratha is vegan, as I have used oil instead of ghee for frying the paratha.

    Can I freeze these parathas?

    Yes, place baking paper in between each paratha and store in a zip lock bag or freezer safe box.
