Aloo paratha is a potato-stuffed Indian flatbread. It is easy to make and delicious. Serve it for breakfast or lunch.
Aloo paratha is stuffed flatbread shallow fried in purified butter. This food is very popular in any North Indian kitchenโespecially in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
This is one of our favorite breakfast items for weekends. Aloo paratha is very filling and delicious. It goes well with tea, plain curd, raita, or even any pickle. You can also try this paratha withย raitaย for breakfast or as a main course for lunch and dinner.ย
This is a stuffed paratha, basically. We stuff spiced mashed potatoes in flatbread. To make these extra delicious, we cook them with desi ghee (clarified butter). You can also saute potatoes in aromatic spices and cool them completely. Then, we use them for stuffing in paratha.
How to make aloo paratha?
Ingredients For Stuffing
- Boiled potatoes
- Onion (optional)
- Green chilies (optional)
- Coriander leaves
- Lemon (for juice)
- Spices - coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, salt to take
Ingredients For Dough

Instructions
Prepare potato stuffing:-
Take a mixing bowl. Add mashed potatoes, finely chopped onions, green chili, coriander leaves, salt, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and lemon juice, and mix it well thoroughly. Now, the stuffing is ready. You can also prepare the stuffing by shallow-frying the mashed potato in oil, onion, and other spices. It depends on your taste and choice.
Make a soft, smooth dough:-
Mix 1 cup of flour with salt to taste. Add water slowly and gradually to make a dough consistency. Knead well to make soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and keep aside for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, make medium to large balls (roundels) of equal size.
Making aloo paratha
Then, roll out the balls into circles with the help of a rolling pin and set them aside on a clean plate.
Place 1 - 2 tbsp of the potato stuffing in the center of the rolled circle. Then, join the edges of this in the center and press it again to make a ball. Make sure all edges are appropriately joined in the center. Otherwise, the stuffing will come out.
Alternatively, you can stretch the sides using your fingers and make a bowl-like shape with the roundel. Then add the stuffing, gather the edges of the dough towards the center, and press it lightly, making a disc again.
Place it on the rolling board, dust some flour on both sides, and roll it to a circle again. Make sure every part is equally thick and even.
Heat a pan or skillet and place the rolled paratha on it. Cook the paratha for 1 minute or until it starts to puff up. Flip it to the other side. Now brush some oil or ghee on the top side, flip it, and apply ghee or butter again. Cook on medium-high heat until both sides are cooked equally. Once done, remove and keep on a clean plate.
Repeat for all the roundels and serve the aloo paratha with curd or pickle, etc.
