Aloo Paratha Recipe

Step 2

Pour a tablespoon of oil and mix the oil until it achieves breadcrumbs like consistency.

Step 11

Now dust these balls with dry flour and roll them with a rolling pin to make make a circle of 5-6 inch.

Step 12

When you have made the circle add the potato stuffing inside it. Lift the edges one by one and bring back to the center so as to make a roundish ball once again.
