Aloo paratha is a whole wheat bread stuffed with boiled and mashed potatoes along with some spices. It goes best with curd and pickle. My mom makes the stuffing in a different way using red chilli powder instead of coriander, curry leaves and green chillies. Both the versions are my favourite. From my school days I have craving for this food. Aloo paratha can also be made with onions if you like it. Just chop some onions and mix it with the stuffing and make the parathas. However the one without onion has become the favourite one for the entire family. Also this is ‘K’s favourite!!!

In a bowl add the wheat flour, salt and a small quantity of water and mix well.

Paratha

In the same way divide the stuffing into equal parts and make balls equal to dough balls. So that it is easy to make parathas
Take one of the dough balls and spread it out with the rolling-pin as we make for roti.
Since we are going to make paratha, we have to roll it out thicker than we make for roti.
Place the stuffing in the center of the roti.
Make pleats from all sides and bring it to center and remove the extra extra dough.
Coat it with the wheat flour on all the sides and keep aside.
Likewise, follow the same step for all the dough and the stuffing.
Keeping the folded side facing downwards, spread it carefully. Take care that the stuffing donot come out.
Now heat the tava and drizzle some ghee. Place the paratha and drizzle some ghee.
Spread the ghee all over the paratha so that it gets cooked well and you will get a nice aroma as well.
Paratha will start cooking and as a result it starts to puff up. You can see the brown spots on it.
Now turn it upside down and cook on the other side.
Make sure that they change in colour on both the sides.
Repeat the same step for other parathas.
Serve it hot with curd and pickle.
