Mistakes in making Aloo Paratha.
Some people make Aloo Paratha but must make it right because it breaks.
Breakage is primarily due to improper filling or freshly boiled potatoes used in the paratha, so the Aloo Paratha must form properly and break. Always use cold potatoes in filling Aloo Paratha.
Butter and ghee make your Aloo Paratha tastier, but if you like less ghee or butter, you can cook the Aloo Paratha first and then add little ghee or butter and spread it with the help of a silicone brush.

Instructions for cooking Aloo Paratha
1- To make Aloo Paratha, boil the potatoes for about 3 hours before making the paratha, mash the potatoes in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
2- After three hours, remove the potatoes from the fridge, add all the spices like finely chopped onions, garam masala powder, salt, coriander, onion, and red chili powder, and mix everything well so that all the spices are absorbed into the mashed potatoes. And there should be no lumps.
3- Now take a bowl to knead the dough and add wheat flour. Slowly add water with the help of water, knead well, and keep it covered for 5 minutes at room temperature.
4- After 5 minutes, roll it in your hand and make small and medium-sized dough balls when it is well absorbed.
5- Now spread all these dough balls in the center with the help of your finger, fill the potato mixture in it, and then close the mouth of the balls by pressing them with your fingers.
6- Ensure that the potato mixture you make is soft and lumpy-free; otherwise, your Aloo Paratha will get spoiled or break, which could be better.
7- Let’s start making our Aloo Paratha. Take a ball of potato-filled dough and place it on a rolling pin. With the help of a rolling pin, slowly spread it like round bread. Wait to press the bread as hard as all the mixture comes out.
8- To cook the Aloo Paratha, place the pan on the stove and let it heat on low flame. Remember that the stove’s heat should be quiet while making Aloo Paratha.
9- When the stove is hot, put the paratha on it and add ghee or butter. Now flip the paratha, apply butter or ghee on the other side, and cook it by flipping it well for 7 to 10 minutes.
10- If you don’t like to put more ghee or butter on the Aloo Paratha, cook the paratha first in an iron pan. When the Aloo Paratha becomes crispy, grease it with ghee or butter with a silicone brush and cook for 1 minute.
11- Your delicious crispy Aloo Parathas are ready. Serve them hot with pickles, yogurt, and green chutney.
