🫓 Aloo Paratha Recipe: Perfect Stuffed Flatbread (2026)

Aloo paratha is North India's favorite breakfast — soft whole-wheat flatbread stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes, cooked golden on a tawa with ghee. This recipe gives you tear-free, perfectly puffed parathas.

Ingredients (makes 8)

• 2 cups whole wheat flour + water + salt (soft dough, rest 20 min)
• 3 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 tsp each: cumin, coriander, amchur (dry mango), red chili
• 2 green chilies, ginger, fresh coriander — chopped
• Ghee for cooking

Method

1. Mix mashed potatoes with all spices. Divide into 8 balls; divide dough into 8 balls.

2. Flatten a dough ball, place potato ball inside, seal and roll gently to 7 inches.

3. Cook on a hot tawa 1 minute per side, then add ghee and press until golden spots appear.

Tips

• Cool the potato filling completely or the paratha will tear.
• Roll from the center outward, light hands.
• Serve with white butter, yogurt and pickle.
