For stuffing, heat ghee in a pan add cumin seeds, add onions and green chillies which can be adjusted according to the preference, add mashed potatoes followed by red chillie powder, coriander for freshness and amchur powder for tanginess.

I made the aloo parathas and they came out real delicious. The only thing I did differently was added finely chopped garlic with the onions while saut?ed. I served the same with Doshi and green coconut chutney. Ah! So delicious.

Tarla Dalal
Aug. 24, 2015, 4:59 p.m.
Hi Neetu, Make sure when you make parathas, cook them on a medium flame, and apply ghee evenly all over so that it remains soft, even after it is cooked, and cool them completely and pack in an air-tight tiffin box.
