Aloo Paratha is a well-known North Indian dish. It is usually a spiced potato mixture stuffed in flat bread. It can be served as breakfast or as a complete meal. It is made with wheat flour and a stuffing of mashed potatoes and some spices. Even kids love this dish.
Again the credit for this recipe goes to my paratha friend Rajeev, I have mention about him in my previous post Onion Paratha Recipe.
