This recipe is easy to roll Aloo Parantha or Thepla without mess of stuffing. To roll stuffed Paratha is difficult task and most of the time lot of filling comes out of it, especially for those who are new in kitchen. This Aloo Paratha recipe which I have explained tastes same as stuffed Aloo Paratha and good part is the stuffing ingredients tastes in each and every piece of Aloo Paratha .
I have added all the stuffing ingredient of Aloo Paratha in whole wheat flour (gheu ka atta) and make soft dough of it .I have not used onion in this recipe but you can add finely chopped onion in Aloo patha dough. You can use lot of healthy options to make Aloo Paratha healthy, nutritious with low calories.
