Punjabi Aloo Paratha (Potato Stuffed Flatbread)
Crispy from the outside, with a spicy potato filling inside, this Punjabi aloo paratha is one of the most loved dishes in North Indian cuisine. “Aloo” means potato, and “paratha” refers to a flatbread. This dish is made by stuffing unleavened wheat dough with a spiced mixture of mashed potatoes.
While traditionally, this is a popular breakfast food, we love to eat it any time of the day. These parathas taste best when served with butter, Indian pickles, and yogurt, along with a cup of masala chai.
