Aloo paratha | Stuffed Paratha || How to Make Aloo Paratha Recipe with step-by-step photos 

Aloo Paratha consists of unleavened dough stuffed with a mixture of spicy mashed potato, which is rolled out and cooked on a hot Tawa with butter or ghee. Aloo paratha is usually served with butter, chutney, and yogurt. My aloo paratha is nothing fancy, it’s a basic simple recipe that is made in every household in Pakistan. Just some boiled mashed potatoes, mixed with spices and then stuffed in the dough, which is then rolled and pan-fried.

A kind of stuffed flatbread literally delicious and yummy breakfast served with hot coffee/tea additionally is the best menu for the sehri time, even can be served on iftar with raita and chutney, as well as to how much you want to keep spicy paratha this is up to you, salt and red chili powder can less or more according to taste

Also, you can cook the potatoes with some oil and temper them with cumin before adding all the spices. It just varies from person to person. I straightaway added all the crackle spices, roasted spices, powder spices, and green spices to the grated potatoes. There’s no right or wrong way here to make aloo paratha, it always tastes good no matter how you make it. so let the go-ahead 

Tips to make a good Aloo Paratha:
  1. The key to making a good paratha always lies in kneading a soft dough and then rolling the paratha evenly. Once you get that done, stuff it with your favorite ingredients (spiced potato in this case) and then fry it on medium-high heat.
  2. Always make sure that your Tawa/skillet on which you will be making the aloo paratha is hot before you put the paratha on it. If it’s just medium hot, the paratha will take time to cook and that will result in a “not so soft” paratha.
  3. This also paratha is vegan. A lot of people love their parathas with ghee so you may use that in place of oil to fry the parathas. I love ghee but when it comes to my paratha, I prefer them with oil and keep them vegan
