‘Aloo’ or ‘alu’ means potato. Potato paratha recipe is a very common menu to most people of Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan as a healthy food breakfast. Nowadays this recipe is being also practiced by some Bangladeshi people. Usually, paratha is prepared with flour and oil. But, to increase its taste and also to break the monotony of the same style of food, sometimes it is prepared differently. Among the different ways, using the potato with flour is one of the most common, which is known as potato (aloo) paratha. Although aloo paratha makes a rich breakfast, it is also as good as for snacks. The most important thing is some curry is needed for eating paratha, but for aloo-paratha, no additional curry is essential. The potato paratha recipe is one of the favorite dishes of my kids. They love to eat the paratha all by themselves.

Preparation and cooking of potato paratha are very easy. Potatoes are to be boiled prior to mixing with flour. The dough is required to be molded very well before making flat balls giving a round shape. Otherwise, the frying part is very easy that anyone can do.
