aloo paratha recipe | how to make aloo paratha | stuffed aloo paratha | whole wheat aloo parathas | with 24 amazing images.
aloo paratha recipe is a whole wheat aloo paratha which is a popular Punjabi breakfast recipe. So popular is whole wheat aloo parathas that I have it as a one-dish meal along with some curds and chopped onions.
Luscious whole wheat aloo parathas are stuffed with a succulent mixture of mashed potatoes flavoured perkily with green chillies, onions and all. A dash of amchur powder adds to the tanginess of the stuffing, making the Aloo Paratha a really tasty and satiating dish.
To make aloo paratha, first knead a semi-stiff dough. For stuffing, heat ghee in a pan add cumin seeds, add onions and green chillies which can be adjusted according to the preference, add mashed potatoes followed by red chillie powder, coriander for freshness and amchur powder for tanginess. Mix well and stuffing of aloo ka paratha is ready.
To proceed, divide dough, roll into a small roti. Roll a portion of the aloo paratha stuffing into a ball, place it in the centre of the rolled dough and pull all the sides together and get rid of excessive dough. Flatten it and roll into a paratha. Place it on a greased tava and cook the stuffed aloo paratha.
stuffed aloo paratha taste best when served hot with pickles/aachar and homemade curd, but they may also be carried in a dabba.

Aloo ka paratha is fried in oil and one tablespoon of oil consists of 120 calories.so ur figure is highly inaccurate. Aloo ka paratha has about 307-479 calories depending on size and how less oil u use.

Thank you for bringing to our notice. The ghee used in cooking was not calculated. Now the Nutritive table has been updated using 2 tsp of ghee for cooking each paratha.
