Divide the dough  and potato filling in to equal parts

 

.Roll the dough into small circles and place the potato balls in the center..

 

Seal by pulling the edges of the rolled dough together to make a ball.

let the ball to settle for 2 minutes before rolling them ..Now roll the balls .Lightly press the ball on the sealed  side and  keep it on the  top side when rolling .Roll the balls into medium size ..when u feel sticking in the rolling surface then lightly  sprinkle the atta on both side of the semi rolled paratha .

Heat  a pan on medium high .place the paratha on the pan.after 1 minute flip the paratha over ..Then after 1 minute turn to the other side .

You should see some golden brown spots on the top side.Then spread 1 tsp of oil  or ghee on the paratha ..Again flip the paratha and lightly press the puffed areas with a spatula.Flip again do the same .When golden colour on both sides remove from the fire ..so ur all time favourite aloo paratha is ready to serve ..Serve with curd and pickle …

If the filling is coming out ,then put the filling in the fridge for sometime to get cool ..Then make parathas..

  5. Hi Veena

    This was a perfect recipe , I am a great lover of aloo paratha and I tried various methods of making this but never got such a perfect one. My husband who is not a fan of such north indian food also like it 🙂 Thanks a lot for this recipe Veena.

    I have tried a lot of your recipes – nice pathiri, chicken curry, modhakam, pazham kozhukkatta, green peas curry, easy sambar and vegetable cutlet. I must say following them gives the perfect output and most often you give tips which are very helpful. Keep going and I would definitely try more of your recipes.
