Aloo paratha | Aloo stuffed paratha | Aloo paratta recipe
Aloo paratha is a popular Punjabi delicacy, prepared by stuffing potato masala into Indian bread (wheat paratha).
This Aloo stuffed paratha is a worldwide famous North Indian food, which you can serve just with curd or masala curd or simple pickle. As potato paratha is very mild, it is one of the kids’ friendly healthy and delicious breakfast recipes.
Moreover, the high starch and protein content makes it a whole meal itself and thus may not need any special side dish.
I tasted this delicious Aloo paratha for the first time from my dear friend Lavanya’s home and it was the authentic mild version. She served that aloo paratta with ‘Paneer chole gravy’, which tasted heavenly. After that day I tried to master in preparing it.
Now it is a regular food for my little potato lovers. Though I make this aloo paratha with my own style stuffing, it tastes great like the traditional one.
Potato is a friendly vegetable and even though it is high in carbs, potato still holds a good amount of other healthy vitamins and minerals.
The potato’s fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 content, coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support heart health.
Potatoes contain significant amounts of fiber. Fiber helps to lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, thereby decreasing the risk of heart disease.

Ingredients
Ingredients:
To make aloo stuff:

- 1 big onion
- 2 red chillies
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garam masala
- ¼ tsp cumin powder
- ¼ tsp chat masala optional
- ¼ tsp amchoor optional
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves
To make paratha:
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp salt
- Oil/ghee to cook parathas
Instructions
Preparation:
- Boil potatoes until soft with enough water or pressure cook for two whistles.
- Remove the skin of the potatoes, mash them and keep aside.
- Fine chop onion, green chillies and coriander leaves.
Recipe to make Aloo paratha:
Prepare chapati dough:
- In a mixing bowl, add salt, wheat flour with a teaspoon of ghee.
- Add water gradually and knead into thick non-sticky dough.
- Apply some oil on top of it and keep covered.
- You can make equal sized dough balls and keep ready.
How to make Aloo paratha stuff:
- Heat another pan with oil in it, season with cumin seeds & add finely chopped onions and green chillies.
- Fry onions until transparent color.
- Now add mashed potatoes and mix with onions.
- Put all the spice powders one by one. Starting with salt add cumin powder, chat masala, garam masala, and amchur powder.
- Chat masala and amchur powder are optional ingredients. But I do suggest adding them as they give a nice north Indian flavor to the stuffed parathas.
- Finally, add chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Keep aside and let the stuffing cool down.
- Make an equal number of stuff balls based on your wheat flour dough balls quantity and keep ready.
How to stuff the paratha:
- Take a small tennis ball size dough, dust with flour and roll gently into a thick circle (approx.5 inches diameter).
- Place the stuff at the middle of the circle, pull the corners of the paratha towards the center as shown.
- Dust with flour and roll with a pin gently by slightly giving even pressure.
- Press as thin as possible. If the stuff comes out sprinkle with some flour and tap with fingers.
How to make Aloo paratha:
- Place a roti Tawa on the stove, grease with oil or ghee.
- Cook paratha in medium temperature for few minutes.
- As the stuff is already cooked, it will take only two to three minutes to cook the bottom side.
- Flip the paratta, drizzle oil or ghee again and cook for few more minutes until golden spots appear.
- When you see a nice golden color with brown spots all over, remove from Tawa.
- Just before serving you can add a small blob of butter on top of it for extra taste.
- Serve with masala curd or pickle or any veg gravy.
