Parathas are common daily bread in North India especially Punjab. They come in a lot of variety.

Here we have demonstrated the south Indian version of making Paratha. Stuffing contains mashed potatoes blended with shredded green chillies. This gives altogether different taste to this dish.
Author’s Note on making Aloo Paratha:
Paratha’s or any other dishes made with wheat are good for health as wheat has low glycemic index. But making aloo paratha for beginners is a tough task. The preparation time of this dish is so lengthy. First make the dough, then prepare the stuffing mixture, then stuff it inside then fry it. Initially I din’t like preparing this dish at all. But once you do it , the end product is just awesome. It feels much better when your family members appreciate for doing a good food. Then once you master it, it’s a child’s play preparing it.
Few suggestions I would give while making this dish is, Firstly avoid using Maida It just makes Paratha get white colour. If you are health conscious then prepare it with only wheat flour. Secondly to make it more spicy you can add some more green chillies and chopped coriander leaves too. If you do so then you need not require any side dish along. One can eat it as it is. Other wise it makes a good combination with curds and pickle (achar). So what are you waiting for, get ready to prepare this dish.
