Aloo Paratha (2 pcs with a block of Amul Butter, Dahi and Pickle)

Aloo paratha is a popular Indian flatbread stuffed with a spiced potato filling. It is made from whole wheat flour, which is kneaded into a soft dough. The filling typically consists of boiled and mashed potatoes mixed with various spices such as cumin, coriander, garam masala, and green chilies, along with fresh herbs like cilantro. To prepare aloo paratha, the dough is divided into small balls, and each ball is rolled out into a small circle. A portion of the potato filling is placed in the center, and the edges are folded over to encase the filling. The stuffed dough is then rolled out gently to form a flatbread. Aloo parathas are usually cooked on a hot griddle (tawa) with a little oil or ghee until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. They are often served hot with yogurt, pickles, or a side of curry, making them a delicious and satisfying meal. Aloo parathas are commonly enjoyed for breakfast or lunch and are loved for their comforting flavors and versatility.

Ingredients:

For making Aloo Parathas, the key ingredients are whole wheat flour (atta) for the dough, boiled and mashed potatoes for the stuffing, finely chopped onions, green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, and spices like cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, amchur (dry mango powder), and salt. You’ll also need oil or ghee for cooking the parathas. The dough is kneaded with flour, water, and a pinch of salt, while the potato mixture is seasoned with the spices and herbs. The stuffed dough balls are rolled out and cooked on a hot tawa with ghee or oil until golden brown on both sides, resulting in soft, flavorful parathas perfect with curd or pickle.
