The steps are given below:
Must-Do Steps for Punjabi Aloo Paratha :
First – while preparing the filling, we add Ajwain (carrom seeds), add slightly more chilies (red or green) and some white butter (homemade butter is preferred but you may use store-bought too).
Second – the parathas are usually thicker and larger in size as they are generously stuffed with the potato filling.
Third – paratha’s are cooked over a medium flame and more butter is added while cooking them
Serving the Punjabi Aloo Paratha:
Most of the time, the Punjabi Aloo Paratha is the only item served for that particular meal with a dollop of homemade butter, hence it’s stuffed generously with the potato filling. Some people might serve it with plain yogurt or Indian pickle but that’s about it – there is no curry or vegetable along with it. Do give this Punjabi Aloo Paratha a try and hope you and your loved one enjoy this as much as I do. The recipe is simple and very much customizable as per your taste. If in a hurry, you can make the potato filling and the paratha dough a day before. The dough can be frozen for upto 2 weeks. DID YOU TRY MY RECIPE – AWESOME!!!
