 Aloo paratha is a delicious Indian flatbread stuffed with spiced mashed potatoes. Here's a simple recipe to make aloo paratha at home:

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup water

For the filling:

• 3 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
• Salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Add water gradually and knead into a smooth and pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

2. In another mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chillies, grated ginger, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and chopped fresh coriander leaves. Mix well.

3. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.

4. Dust the rolling surface with some flour and roll one ball of dough into a small disc. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center.

5. Gather the edges of the dough disc and bring them together to seal the filling inside. Flatten the ball and roll it out into a circular paratha.

6. Heat a griddle or a tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha on the griddle and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until brown spots appear.

7. Brush the cooked paratha with some vegetable oil and cook for another 1-2 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown.

8. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

9. Serve hot with your favorite side dish, such as yogurt or pickle.
