Aloo Methi Paratha Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The regular aloo paratha is too dull for me. That is the reason I am always looking ways to combine aloo stuffing with some additional flavours to create a wholesome flatbread. Sometimes, back we shared the Makki and Aloo Ka Paratha. This time, it is Aloo Methi Paratha. Packed with excitement; that describes the Aloo Methi Parathas best of all! 

The mashed potato mixture is tucked inside the flavoursome fenugreek-laced dough and rolled out to make pillowy parathas. Who could say no to them? Served with simple raita, freshly churned white butter and aam ka achaar, these Methi Parathas are one of our favourite winter breakfast. Almost, a weekly ritual all over the season, till the family had enough of them.

Aloo Methi Paratha

Packed with excitement; that describes the Aloo Methi Parathas best of all! Served with simple raita, freshly churned white butter and aam ka achaar, these Methi Parathas are one of our favorite winter breakfast.

Our vegetable wala is strictly instructed to bring a fresh bunch of methi (fenugreek leaves) every alternate day. We don’t mind the tedious process of hand picking, cleaning, chopping the fresh fenugreek leaves. They are absolutely worthy of time and effort. Whether it is the methi paratha or basic methi ki sabzi, the fresh fenugreek leaves make so much difference to the taste of the dish.

That pungent taste, the sharp aroma, the slight bitterness, is what makes us go ga-ga about the methi leaves during the season. Are you a green lover or hater? I’m a lover, most of the time. With their intense colour and earthy flavour, greens can be a versatile ingredient. I and husband share a common liking for greens. We never had enough of them. The greens provide a nice counterpoint to the dish and turn it into something that is so good in taste, healthy and wholesome.

We are not promising, but assuring to share more of green recipes this winter season. As we are having a seasonal hook-up with them. Till then, I leave you with Aloo Methi Paratha Recipe.

  • Dust the kitchen counter with flour. Place one ball of dough. Roll out one portion of the dough into a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle using a rolling pin.
  • Place two tablespoon of the potato stuffing in the centre of the circle, bring together all the sides in the centre and seal tightly.
  • Roll out again into a 150 mm. (6") diameter circle, using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Don not apply too much pressure while rolling the paratha else stuffing will ooze out from the sides.

Hi Hina,
Tried your recipe of the aloo methi parathas…with the exact measurements. In the many times that I have made parathas I always ended up messy hands, messy rolling pin or the aloo breaking from parathas..I’m so glad I gave your recipe a try and without any hassles no mess and hardly any time consumed I was able to make 5 perfect parathas exactly shown on your picture above..
I’m now looking forward to try more of your recipes.
Thank you for sharing..

Best regards
Berlin
