Aloo Paratha / Potato Stuffed Chapati is a stuffed shallow fried flat bread recipe. Potatoes are boiled and mashed and stuffed into the bread and shallow fried on both sides. Aloo paratha is one of my favourite Breakfast. While we were living in pune aloo paratha happened to be our regular weekend breakfast or can even called as a brunch. All of us at home loved to have this from a nearby shop. It would be served with boondi raitha. Its was a filling breakfast. This is a stuffed bread variety. When i came across the theme weekend breakfast for this weeks blogging marathon, this is the first recipe that came to my mind.
