Punjabi Aloo Paratha Recipe is the famous Indian Paratha Recipe made in Punjabi Style. Here generous Aloo Mixture is stuffed in Whole Wheat Bread Roti and while cooking I used lot of fresh coriander for the flavor. This Paratha is made in the way just like we eat parathas in the Punjabi dhabas/roadside eateries.
This Aloo Paratha Recipe is an authentic Indian Breakfast, generally served with Pickle, Curd or with a glass of Lassi. Today I have made this Paratha in a different way with lot of stuffing, than the normal Paratha that we generally make at home.
If u have ever eaten food in Punjabi dhabas of Jalandhar or Amritsar, then this Paratha Recipe will remind you of the food you have eaten there.
While cooking any paratha, always keep some points important, the griddle or tava should be hot, you can regulate the fire from hot to medium while cooking, smear enough oil or ghee when frying the parathas, so that the dough gets cooked well and you see crisp brown spots. An ideally cooked paratha would be evenly fried, well cooked with golden or dark brown crisp spots, and during its cooking, use a spatula, to press the paratha edges so that the edges are also cooked properly.

Notes
While serving you can top the paratha with some butter or ghee. You can keep aloo paratha for up to 2 days on room temperature, provided it should be tightly wrapped in aluminum foil and then kept in the air tight container.Some people refrigerate these paratha’s for 3-4 days and at the time of eating reheat on tawa or in microwave. Try to make small paratha’s, which should be medium thick and should be stuffed well with the mixture of potatoes, so that the potato stuffing does not come out.
