  1. Aloo paratha is one of those quintessential breakfast dishes that neither I, nor my family can get enough of! With this recipe, I’ve literally become a pro in making these at home.

  2. it was very a very good experience making this aloo paratha and the feature that we can tick the items was very brilliant idea sister.It was very yummy. THANK YOU SO MUCH.5 stars

  3. Hi, i really like your recipe and I’ve tried different methods as in roasting the spices and cooking the mashed potatoes before adding it into the dough. But I want to try this version of yours. I hope it turns out well.5 stars

  4. Very informative and step by step method was easy to follow. I made it today and it was delicious.

    Only snag was that my cup measure was way off and got only about 8 parathas. How much is 2 cups in grams? I am from Sri Lanka.

  5. one of my favourite parathas !!

    thanks for making it so easy to understand and follow your way of cooking aloo parathas !!5 stars

  6. Your detailed instructions and step by step photos are essential for a perfect result, very much appreciated! This potato paratha turned out delicious.5 stars

  7. As always very easy to understand and follow. Though it takes a while to learn how to roll the paratha without breaking it or squeezing the filling out.5 stars

  8. It was a hit in our family! Loved it! My brother remarked that it tasted like Delhi style parantha. Thankyou!5 stars

  9. The other variation mentioned by you sounds interesting.noted the ingredients.will give it a try.thanks.

  10. Aloo parathas are such that it can be prepared in a number of ways using different spices.loved the way you gave such a detailed explanation with so many options.tried this recipe.It was really good.4 stars

    1. yes, winnie. in a recipe like that of aloo paratha, many variations can be done. this is a family recipe, so i have not changed it in any way and shared with the readers. another variation which i make uses ajwain (carom seeds), green chillies, grated ginger, garam masala, dry mango powder, a pinch of hing, red chilli powder, a bit of black salt and regular salt in the stuffing. this one also tastes good.

      thanks again for sharing the review and for the rating. happy cooking.

    2. Tried ur aloo paratha recipe for the first time and it really simple, delicious and mouthwatering.thanks a lot. I have taken your credit home. Lots of love.5 stars

  11. i am a fan of aloo paratha. although i dont stuff too much but still during rolling them the stuffing starts oozing out from the edges and it becomes difficult to roll. how can i prevent it?

    1. try to roll the rotis to a slightly large size. also press the edges the well. you can brush some water on the edges also to seal them. have a uniform stuffing spread on the roti. hope this helps.

    1. the water amount will change depending on the quality of flour. usually for 3 cups of atta, 3/4th to 1.25 cups can be added depending on the texture of flour. thats why i have mentioned ‘water as required’ in the ingredient list.

  12. Today i tried it , the taste was really very very good. With ghee the parata was extremely soft. At last my Wifes appreciation was my gift…Thank you5 stars

  13. Hi Dassana!! I love all of your recipes! I want to make these but 9 is a lot for me and my wife to eat! can i freeze them after cooking and then heat them back up on the stove like the ones i get from the grocery store, or would it be better to freeze before cooking?

    You’re the best, thank you!

    1. thanks mackenzie. just cook them till half done – the outer layer looks opaque with a pale brown color or faint light spots. then you can freeze them. do not add ghee while cooking till half. add ghee when you cook them the second time.

  14. Dassana i have been following ur blog for a while now. Ur recipies turn out to b very tasty.. it will be more wonderful if u start giving recipies for nonveg dishes as well.. keep on cooking n make us learn .. love ur work n so u .. see ya5 stars

    1. Thanks Bhavana for sharing your positive feedback on recipes. I get many request for non-veg recipes. But since I only cook veg food at home, So I only share vegetarian recipes. All recipes on the blog are tried and tested at home and then added.

  15. I like vegreceipes of India a lot… I try most of your receipes.. Excellent presentation with clear pictures of each step, thanks a lot…..

  16. Aaloo paranthas usually don’t have garlics but adding small size crushed and roasted garlics add to the taste of the paranthas. I recommend doing some experiments with variety of other ingredients.4 stars

  17. i am very happy read this simple proccess for how to make potato paratha.
    thank you so much.

  18. Big fan of aloo paratha from kerala…. me too tried this recipe and i loved it…. what a taste for punjabi dishes…. thnq so much for this wonderful dish….

  19. Hi. I have made aloo paranthas following your recipe. It turned out pretty good. The only thing is they were very thick. I tried to make them as thin as possible but still it were thick. My sister and brother-in-law make aloo paranthas and always have them with tomato fry. It really goes well with paranthas.

    1. thanks sukhvinder. try rolling thin. also the dough should be soft and pliable, so its easy to roll the parathas evenly and thinly. it will take some practice and then you will get the knack of rolling parathas very well. thanks for sharing about the tomato fry. first time i am hearing of such a recipe 🙂

  20. thank u so much for the all the recipes…. my daughter and my husband love each and every recipe I try and serve….

  21. Hi, very easy recipe to follow. But i wanted to add more of the filling to the paratha and if I did the paratha would break. If I added less it was too less. Am I doing something wrong..?

    1. too much of filling will break the paratha. while making stuffed paratha initially, its difficult to gauge the amount of filling that is needed. but after a few trials, you will know how much filling needs to be added.

  22. fantastic i uesd to think parathas isnt easy and to stuff is more difficult but
    after seei g the v ideo that too in a systametic manner its b ecome easy for me

  23. Thanks a lot for this. Finally, I was able to figure out how to roll the dough with the stuffing. It did turn out well. 🙂

  24. Tried the aloo parathas and they were perfect and some of other recipes like lime rice. My family loved it and thank you !5 stars

  25. I’m a Manipuri and was looking up paratha recipes cos i have never made them myself. tried onion paratha yesterday from your recipe. came out really well. will try aloo paratha today 🙂

  39. ma’am I want to thank you for sharing the way you put the stuffing in between two puri sized dough. It has helped me a great deal in making thinner paranthas.

  40. Thanks a lot for sharing some of the authentic punjabi recipes… Have made a note of a few… Will try them out soon…
    The presentation of recipes with lovely pictures is enticing… 🙂

  41. I m from tamil nadu, and I like north Indian recipies. this is my first attempt and it was awesome. could u suggest me some more spicy recipes?

  42. Hai iam from Tamil Nadu. my husband want home made paratha. i realy enjoyed to do this with u r help it was very easy to prepare. pleas tel me one thing in our area amchur powder was not available pleas tel me the optional for amchur5 stars

  43. My hubby and I very much enjoy eating ethnic foods. I’m American born. my hubby was born in Belize, British Honduras, CA. We had purchased a frozen package of aloo paratha, and LOVED it. This of course led me to find a recipe….alas I found your site and I’m so pleased that I did. I need to get just a few of the ingredients ….yes, I do have asifita.
    We’re really excite to try making this and other recipes that you have posted.5 stars

  44. looks amazing!

    What would you suggest for the dough recipe?? (this is my first time trying something like this)

    1. you can use 2 to 2.5 cups of whole wheat flour. add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 to 2 tsp oil. adding little water in intervals begin to knead the dough. add water as required. the dough should be kneaded till it smooth and soft. you can also use a stand mixer for kneading the dough.

  45. Wow,
    aalu partota was awsom…
    Ma frnd likd very much…
    Muaaahhhh…
    Gng 2 try nther reciep

  46. Thanks for the recipes, I will try this for the first time. Its well presented.

  47. Adding onion is not a good idea. The parathas are breaking. maybe making paste of onion would help if we really want onion in the parathas.

    1. if the onions are chopped finely, the parathas do not break. some times i do make aloo paratha with onions, and i have never had this issue.

  48. Hi. The pics are so very tempting! I add some grated garlic and ginger (about a teaspoon), finely chopped green chillies, cumin seeds, a pinch of asofoetida, turmeric and salt and lots of fresh coriander into the stuffing. And don’t forget a dash of lime juice. My folks love them!! 🙂

  49. Just tried this recipe this morning and the parathas came out so tasty! It was easy to make and didn’t take much time. This will be made regularly in our house now :)) Thanks!!

    1. welcome ronak. if you can make aloo paratha then you can easily master other varieties of parathas also like onion paratha, ajwain paratha, paneer paratha…

  50. Those Aloo Parathas that you have prepared look so unbelievably delicious and appetizing! Even though I have explored and contemplated making these kinds of Indian flat breads for a long time now, I have been reluctant to take the plunge and actually try making them myself. This recipe takes me back to my childhood of growing up in Trinidad in the Caribbean where the population consists of large numbers of descendants of the Indian Diaspora. As a child – before I discovered the wonder of curried meats and vegetables used as fillings for what we called roti – I used to love eating the plain parathas with just a bit of butter spread on them. Watching and capturing the aroma of these pillow soft blankets being cooked on the Indian Tawa was a mouth watering kind of magic for sure! That was like a bit of heaven in my hands all those years ago. Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring recipe and presentation Dassana!5 stars

    1. thanks mark. if you manage to make aloo paratha then you can easily try other paratha recipes also like cauliflower paratha, onion paratha, radish paratha and so on. first technique mentioned in the post is easier for making aloo paratha.

  51. Hi

    I know you said the onions are optional, but if one were to use it, at what point should they be added? Your recipe didn’t mention this.

    Thanks

  52. I’m new to kitchen…thank you so much…i tried and it came very nice in the very first time…

    1. you know payal, the pyaaz paratha post has been in my mind for almost 2 years now…. i keep on postponing.

      taking the step by step while making parathas is something i keep avoiding. i think i need an assistant now to take photographs 🙂

  54. I will try it today. My mom makes similar parathas but earlier I could not make stuffed parathas somehow.
    I will re try today .

  55. my husband liked it very much (even he dislikes aloo..)
    ……….thnks fo the yummmmyyyy receipe.

    1. thanks shalini for making the aloo paratha and taking the time to comment on the post. nice to know your hubby liked the parathas.

  56. I’ve tried making roti’s and they always come out very hard, therefore I’ve had to throw them in the garbage 🙁 I am going to try this receipe tonight and hopefully with the potatoe it will be easier to make.
    PS – A frying pan will work?
    Thanks

  57. Hi ,

    I have tried aloo paratha in the same way… instead of dry mango powder i used chat powder. 🙂 it turned out well..

    Thank You 🙂

    1. thanks neethu. the aloo paratha will taste good with chaat masala also. thats a good idea if one does not have mango powder as the chaat masala has mango powder and other spices as well.

  58. The presentation is very nice..

    Pls forward me some more yummy recepies..
