Aloo paratha (Hindi: आलू पराठा, Bengali: আলুর পরোটা, Nepali: आलु परौठा, Gujarati: બટાકા ના પરોઠા, Odia: ଆଳୁ ପରଟା, Punjabi: ਆਲੂਆਂ ਦਾ ਪਰੌਠਾ, Urdu: آلو پراٹھا, lit. 'potato paratha' ) is a paratha (flat bread dish) stuffed with potato filling native to the Indian subcontinent.[2][3] It is traditionally eaten for breakfast.[2][4]

It is made using unleavened dough rolled with a mixture of

curd, or Indian pickles.[7][8]

Being stuffed with potato and fried makes it higher in calories (290-360 calories) than a typical roti (60 calories).[6]

In the 21st century, due to convenience, working routines, rising household incomes, smaller families and time restrictions, the aloo paratha breakfast for urban Indians has been increasingly replaced by foods seen as more convenient such as cereals.[4] A similar pattern has been observed among Central Valley Sikhs in America.[2]

Variations

Jammu Aloo Anardana or Aloo Daḍuni paratha

Jammu is known for Aloo parathas stuffed with a local variety of pomegranate seeds called Daḍuni. These parathas form a regular part of a typical Dogra breakfast and are readily available in any Dogri Vaishno Dhaba on the way to the Shri Vaishno Devi shrine.[9]

Jodhpuri Jayaphali Aloo Palak paratha

In Rajasthan, Jodhpur is known for aloo parathas stuffed with special filling of potatoes cooked with jayaphal (nutmeg) and palak (spinach).[10]

Mode of serving

Aloo parathas are mostly served as a

Athana (Indian pickle), chutney and masala chai are also served along with it.[11]
