aloo paratha

Aloo paratha is a stuffed flatbread associated with north India and Punjabi breakfasts. Cooked potatoes are mashed and seasoned, then enclosed in a whole-wheat dough. The filled dough is rolled into a disc and cooked on a tawa, or flat griddle, with oil or ghee until browned in spots.[1]

The potato filling may include fresh coriander, green chillies and ajwain or cumin. Other versions add ginger, dried mango powder or further spices. Aloo paratha is served with butter, yogurt or Indian pickle, and is offered at Punjabi dhabas and restaurants.[1]
