About the recipe

These are stuffed parathas but paratha can be made plain without any veggies... Parathas have layers to them and they can be eaten with a vegetable side dish or just chutneys made out of vegetables too.

Other paratha recipes to be enjoyed from the blog are methi paratha, egg paratha, beetroot paratha.

 They are served by applying ghee all over the parathas and the side dish that is preferred for parathas is curd/raita/yogurt.

They are commonly called by the name aloo ka paratha or potato paratha. Paratha is usually made by stuffing vegetables mixture into the dough.

Dough is mainly made using wheat flour and any cooked vegetable mixture is stuffed inside the dough. The dough is sealed well and made into a round chapati shaped paratha.

The paratha is then cooked well on both sides by applying ghee/oil/butter.

Making of the stuffing

Here, in this post I have made aloo paratha by boiling the potatoes, peeling them and making the potato filling by adding few basic spices into it.

The spices that need to be added are not compulsory and altered according to our choice and preference. Here I have used very minimal spices and made it very light and tasty.

The parathas are very popular all across punjab. They can also be served using pickles too. Here I have also shown a video procedure to make them and also in detail with written steps.

Below in the video I have shown two methods of making parathas where I have sealed the potato stuffed paratha in two ways and any method can be followed to make them.

Both the methods are easy if instructions are followed carefully and still have queries do not hesitate to comment below in the comment box.

Side dish

This goes well with raita usually and any curry too can be made as a side dish to the parathas but generally, they are served with raita, onion rings and lemon.

Stuffing and rolling technique

Normally one of the common methods of making any paratha is that the stuffing is done in inside a dough ball by flattening it a bit, sealing the stuffed dough ball and then rolling the paratha carefully and then roasting it on a gridle.

Another method is done by rolling out two separate parathas, spreading the potato stuffing on paratha and then placing another paratha over the stuffed paratha and sealing all the sides and edges well and evenly pressing it like a roti.

Both the methods are shown in the video and both techniques are easy to follow.

Step by step procedure
