An easy Aloo Paratha

September 3, 2014 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

Theplas and Parathas are my all time favorite. I never stop making it.. I make them at least 4-5 times a month.

Now this happened sometime back. Before my successful paratha making. When I used to end up in  paratha disasters (breaking the edges of rotis with fillings), I take the whole thing and knead again to form a dough ball. And then I roll it back to the normal rotis.

Later I came to know from my friend that potato can also  be added while make the chapatti dough as they are added in Batura for making it soft.. and I found this much easier than the traditional potato stuffed parathas. Though I prefer the original ones, sometimes I like to use this cheat recipe.

  • Potatoes – 3 big
  • Wheat Flour – 1.5 to 2 cups 
  • Salt – 1/2 tsp
  • Oil – 2 tsp + extra for roasting
  • Red chili powder – 1 tsp
  • Coriander powder – 2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Hing – a pinch
  • Grated ginger – 1 tbsp
  • Garam masala – 1/2 tsp


You have to

  • Cook the whole potatoes covers till its level of water  in cooker for 3-4 whistles. 
  • And once after the pressure is gone, a knife can be inserted in the middle of the potato. 
  • If the knife easily goes in and come out, the potato is ready. 
  • Remove the potatoes from water and allow to cool 
  • Peel the skin and mash well
  • In a bowl take flour and all the ingredients including the mashed potatoes. 
  • Knead it to form a dough ball. No need to add water.
  • (At any point if you feel the dough is very wet, add in 1/4 cup more flour)
  • Divide the dough into 10- 12 tiny balls 
  • Now dust and roll to form flat discs
  • Place on a hot griddle and roast both sides well on medium to high flame. 
  • Drizzle oil on both sides. Repeat this with rest of the batches.
  • Serve hot or cold

I like to dip in yogurt and have…It is yum..

Notes: This paratha is super soft  and delicious even when it is served in room temperature. Try to consume on the same day itself.
