Aloo Paratha Recipe, How to make Aloo Paratha Recipe | Parathas

June 8, 2016 by maria 12 Comments

Aloo Paratha are Indian flat bread. The parathas are then stuffed with mashed potatoes, spices and herbs. Punjabi Aloo Paratha recipe are yummy, delicious yet healthy. They are just perfect to eat during breakfast, meal time or dinner time. We make aloo parathas a lot of time home and club them with raita, pickle or a gravy based dish.

Punjabi Cuisine is rich in carbohydrates, great aroma, taste, flavor and quite healthy. Punjabi people are known to be full of life their food reflects their culture and behaviour. I am a great fan of Punjabi Food and I really binge on their Palak Paneer, Chole Bhature, Tandoori Chicken, Lassi and Parathas.

Aloo Paratha

Talking about Parathas you can have any vegetable you like in Parathas like Aloo Ka Paratha, Paneer Paratha, Mooli Paratha, Methi Paratha, Plain Paratha and the list goes on. Whichever Paratha you eat without patting Makhan (butter) on it will not taste good. I prefer my Aloo Ka Paratha with ghee or butter and like to eat them when it’s hot.

The first dish which I cooked for the first time happens to be aloo paratha, tikki and sandwiches in my teens. Although I don’t come from a north indian background yet love their food and flavors. I was strongly feeling the urge of eating Parathas so I made Aloo Parathas and quite relished it for my breakfast.

Let’s make Aloo paratha recipe step by step:

1. Mix ghee or white butter in wheat flour. Combine all it should appear like bread crumbs.

2. Now add water, salt to form a dough similar to chapatti dough. Allow the dough to rest for 10 mins.

3. In the meanwhile mix all the ingredients into the mashed potatoes nicely. The mixture should look uniform.

4. Make medium sized balls of the dough.

6. Now cover the potato mixture with the wheat flour from all sides. Fold it from all sides and cover the potato mixture well. Repeat this with the rest.

7. Now take each ball, roll it in round discs around 3 inches with a roller. Dust some flour while rolling the balls.

8. Place an iron tawa / non stick pan over high heat. Splutter some ghee or butter and fry the parathas over high heat from both sides. Cook them from both sides with the help of a Spatula or cloth until it gives you tiny brown spots.
