How to make aloo paratha

Aloo Paratha-steps and procedures


1. To the wheat flour, add water little at a time and knead. Knead the flour well to form a soft dough. Adjust the water accordingly. The dough should not stick to the hand. If it sticks add the little flour to make them perfect.

Then leave that on the kitchen counter for about half an hour. The parathas will stay softer if they are allowed for resting time. But however, it can also be made immediately after kneading. Dust flour in the rolling pin and the pad. Make a round flat bread with the help of the rolling pin.

    I love to have paratha in the breakfast. We all love it.

    But in winters I like it most with hot tea and mango pickle.

    You can also have this with malai (cream on top of the cold milk). You will like it. Just add little more spices in it to balance the taste.
