Aloo paratha
Aloo Paratha is one of the most loved breakfasts in my home. It is made with a soft wheat dough and a simple spiced potato filling. We usually enjoy it hot with curd, green chutney, tea, or ketchup, and everyone in my family loves it.
Ingredients
- •2 cup Whole wheat flour (for the dough)
- •1/2 tsp Salt (for the dough, or to taste)
- •1 cup Water (as needed, for the dough)
