Aloo paratha recipe is paratha stuffed with aloo mixture. The aloo or mixture can be made as per your taste and flavor. The stuffing which I am presenting here is very simple and easy to make. This Aloo Paratha recipe is my mom-in-law’s recipe. Aloo Parathas are a hot item at our place. In Punjab the parathas are made with lots of ghee and then served with dollops of white butter or makhan. White butter can be easily made at home. One can get end number of parathas like gobi paratha, mooli paratha, lachedar paratha, methi paratha, paneer paratha etc. I have also shared aloo paratha dhaba style recipe. In another variation, aloo and pyaaz (onions) stuffing is used and the paratha is called aloo pyaaz ka paratha. another combination is to make aloo palak paratha in which the dough is kneaded with mashed potatoes, spinach puree and spices or this aloo gobi paratha. Lets start Step by Step Punjabi Aloo Paratha Recipe: Firstly, boil the potatoes or aloo and peel them. Chop the aloo and add all the spice powders, green chillies, salt. Mash the aloo with the spice mixtures. Dust the board with wheat flour. Take well kneaded dough made from wheat flour. Take two medium sized balls from the dough and roll these into a circle of about 3 or 3.5 inches. Take a portion of the aloo mixture and spread it on one of the rolled dough. Cover this dough with the second rolled dough. Press the edges of both the rolled dough firmly. Apply some dry flour and roll into a disc of about 8 inches or about the size of a normal roti or chapati. Alternatively, you could do this technique too. Take a piece of dough. Roll it out in a small circle. Now put the aloo filling in the center of the rolled out dough. Take it in your palm and bring all the edges together as shown in pic below. Now by applying pressure with your fingers press the edges down. Apply some wheat flour on this stuffed dough or dust the rolling board with wheat flour. Gently roll the stuffed dough with a rolling pin. Make sure that the parathas do not break. Dust with more flour if required. Roll it into a size of a normal roti or chapati. Now put the rolled aloo paratha on a hot griddle. Fry the aloo paratha with ghee as you would usually fry the parathas. Be generous in using ghee or oil to fry the parathas. If the paratha is really fried well then it will puff up slightly. Fry the parathas till you see some brown spots. You can also press the paratha edges so that they are fried well. as some time, the paratha edges are not cooked well. I usually make the aloo paratha, keep it in the roti basket and top the paratha with homemade butter. This way I stack all the aloo parathas in the roti basket. You could even serve the aloo paratha… hot… direct from the tava with white butter or curd or mango pickle. Tips for making Aloo Paratha Recipe: To make this dough, I have not used oil or ghee. But to make it more soft, you can add 1 or 2 teaspoon of ghee or oil. The aloo mixture can be made according to your taste and liking. You can also add roasted cumin seeds powder/jeera powder, rock salt, coriander powder. You can experiment and come out with a wonderful recipe. To the aloo, you can also add other boiled and mashed veggies like peas, carrot, french beans, also grated cheese and paneer, to make it more nutritious and you have your mix veg paratha. Always cut the onions, chillies, coriander leaves very finely. Also, the aloo should be mashed very well. There should not be any lumps or small pieces in it. This is so, so that, the parathas do not break while rolling. To get the slight sourness and tanginess in the aloo paratha, I have used amchur (dried mango powder), but you could also use dried pomegranate seeds powder (anardana powder). e.g. in this dhaba style aloo paratha recipe, i have used dry pomegranate seeds instead of dried mango powder and it also tasty very good. if you are looking for more Aloo Recipes then do check Dry Aloo Matar, Jeera Aloo, Punjabi Dum Aloo, Kashmiri Dum Aloo and Aloo Chaat – Navratri Fasting Recipe.

Reply dassana says November 17, 2013 at 10:26 pm in the recipe posted, i have not used onions. i have mentioned onions if the recipe details, if someone prefers to add it. Reply Naren says November 15, 2013 at 11:15 am Adding onion is not a good idea. The parathas are breaking. maybe making paste of onion would help if we really want onion in the parathas. Reply dassana says November 17, 2013 at 10:25 pm if the onions are chopped finely, the parathas do not break. some times i do make aloo paratha with onions, and i have never had this issue. Reply Sumi says October 26, 2013 at 8:40 am Hi. The pics are so very tempting! I add some grated garlic and ginger (about a teaspoon), finely chopped green chillies, cumin seeds, a pinch of asofoetida, turmeric and salt and lots of fresh coriander into the stuffing. And don’t forget a dash of lime juice. My folks love them!! Reply dassana says October 27, 2013 at 12:21 am thanks sumi for sharing your version of making aloo paratha. Reply Ronak says October 15, 2013 at 10:10 am Just tried this recipe this morning and the parathas came out so tasty! It was easy to make and didn’t take much time.

Reply dassana says September 24, 2013 at 10:03 pm welcome, saranyadas.s Reply Mark says September 22, 2013 at 7:04 pm Those Aloo Parathas that you have prepared look so unbelievably delicious and appetizing! Even though I have explored and contemplated making these kinds of Indian flat breads for a long time now, I have been reluctant to take the plunge and actually try making them myself. This recipe takes me back to my childhood of growing up in Trinidad in the Caribbean where the population consists of large numbers of descendants of the Indian Diaspora. As a child – before I discovered the wonder of curried meats and vegetables used as fillings for what we called roti – I used to love eating the plain parathas with just a bit of butter spread on them. Watching and capturing the aroma of these pillow soft blankets being cooked on the Indian Tawa was a mouth watering kind of magic for sure! That was like a bit of heaven in my hands all those years ago. Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring recipe and presentation Dassana! Reply dassana says September 23, 2013 at 7:01 pm thanks mark. if you manage to make aloo paratha then you can easily try other paratha recipes also like cauliflower paratha, onion paratha, radish paratha and so on. first technique mentioned in the post is easier for making aloo paratha. Reply Jovita says August 31, 2013 at 12:50 pm Hi I know you said the onions are optional, but if one were to use it, at what point should they be added? Your recipe didn’t mention this. Thanks Jovita Reply dassana says August 31, 2013 at 9:46 pm Jovita, you can add the finely chopped onions to the mashed potatoes. Reply Brindha says July 21, 2013 at 9:56 am I’m new to kitchen…thank you so much…i tried and it came very nice in the very first time… Reply dassana says July 21, 2013 at 12:03 pm thanks brindha. nice to know that paratha came out well in the first try itself.

PS – A frying pan will work? Thanks Reply dassana says March 24, 2012 at 12:56 am a frying pan will work mary. for the roti to be soft, the dough should be soft and pliable. Reply Neethu says March 15, 2012 at 10:19 pm Hi , I have tried aloo paratha in the same way… instead of dry mango powder i used chat powder. it turned out well.. Thank You Reply dassana says March 17, 2012 at 12:44 am thanks neethu. the aloo paratha will taste good with chaat masala also. thats a good idea if one does not have mango powder as the chaat masala has mango powder and other spices as well.
