Aloo Paratha
Also known as: Aloo Parantha, आलू पराठा, آلو پراٹھا
North Indian whole-wheat flatbread filled with warmly spiced mashed potato and cooked with ghee.
About Aloo Paratha
Aloo paratha is a traditional North Indian stuffed flatbread, common in homes, restaurants and dhabas. This profile follows Swasthi Shreekanth's first enclosing method, with a whole-wheat dough and spiced mashed-potato centre.
Potato gives the filling a mellow savoury base, brightened by ginger and cilantro and warmed by garam masala, Kashmiri chilli, coriander, chaat masala and dried fenugreek leaves. Ghee adds a rich, gently nutty finish.
The bread is soft and layered around an even potato filling, with puffed areas and golden-brown griddle spots. Its exterior is lightly crisp while the centre remains tender and substantial.
