Aloo Paratha Ingredients
Potatoes - Here in the US, I recommend using either just russet potatoes or a combination of red and russet potatoesWhole Wheat Flour - Aashirwaad Select Sharbati Atta is fine ground and perfect for making roti and parathasGinger and green chili - Freshly made ginger paste and green chili for the spicy kickSpices - cumin powder, coriander powder, and fresh homemade garam masala for warm earthy flavors. Red chili powder although optional, adds a beautiful orange hue to the parathas.
Serving Aloo Paratha
Aloo Parathas are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For breakfast serve it with yogurt or pickles and a cup of chai. Kids will love these stuffed Parathas with a dollop of butter and ketchup. For main meals, serve with cucumber raita, beet raita, or pumpkin raita and pair with a rice dish like Paneer Biryani or Chickpea Biryani. Serve with a glass of cooling Mango lassi or Rose Lassi.
In a large mixing bowl, grate the boiled and peeled potatoes. Add ginger, green chilies, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur powder, cilantro, and salt. Mix well.
How to pack Aloo Paratha for Lunch Box
Kids love Aloo Parathas for lunch. Cut into triangle-shaped pieces using a pizza cutter and make sure they are at room temperature before packing so they do not get soggy.

Expert Tips
After stuffing the aloo balls and sealing it up, you can slightly flatten it with your palms before rolling. You can also add red chilli powder along with turmeric powder You can even apply ghee for toasting the parathas. I make my parathas a bit thinner, Roll it thin or slightly thick as per your liking. It goes well with any curd based raita either onion raita or pickle raita.
