aloo paratha

India · South Asia

Short description: Aloo paratha is a stuffed flatbread with a spiced potato filling, commonly eaten as a filling breakfast or snack.
Ingredients: Whole-wheat dough stuffed with spiced mashed potato, cooked with ghee or oil, and often served with yogurt or pickle.
Cultural note: The dish works because bread and filling cook together, making a portable meal that pairs well with tangy dairy, pickles, or chutney.
Common misconception: It is not just bread served beside potatoes; the potato filling is sealed inside the flatbread before cooking.
