Aloo paratha is a popular Indian breakfast of unleavened whole wheat savory and spiced potato stuffed flatbread from Punjab, India. This delicious Punjabi aloo paratha is one of the most loved breakfast at my place. One of the first recipes I learned from my Punjabi mother-in-law and been making them for years now. Here I show you 2 ways of stuffing the parathas.

Ingredients:

• ½ to 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chillies or serrano peppers (1 to 2 green chilies, chopped finely)
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon punjabi garam masala powder or garam masala powder
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder or cayenne pepper or paprika (optional)
• ½ to 1 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder) – swap with lemon juice instead
• 300-350gm Potato and onion(Optionsl)

Recipe:

Step-1:

First boil 4 medium-sized potatoes. You can boil or steam the potatoes in a pressure cooker, steamer or electric cooker. Add enough water in a 2-litre pressure cooker or pan just about covering the potatoes.

Step-2:

Peel and chop the boiled warm potatoes. Then mash the potatoes with a potato masher. You can even grate and then mash the potatoes.

The potatoes should be mashed very well. There should not be any tiny bits or chunks in the mashed potatoes. These tiny or small chunks of potatoes will give trouble when rolling the parathas.

With a spoon, mix the spice powders and green chilies with the mashed potatoes very well. Check the taste of the spiced mashed potato stuffing and add more salt or red chilli powder or dry mango powder if required.

You can also add 1 to 2 tablespoons of finely chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) or mint leaves.

Another popular variation is to add finely chopped onions if you like. But remember to chop the onions finely or else they pop out when rolling the parathas. Keep the prepared aloo stuffing aside.

Step-5:

Make a dough and fill this potato mixture in side the dough and make paratha, user butter for taste enhancement.
