Dhaba style Aloo paratha recipe

Dhaba style aloo paratha recipe, with video and step by pictures, potato stuffed popular punjabi Whole wheat flat bread recipe. I have shared aloo paratha recipe long back and as much as i love to eat parathas, i love to cook them too. I love all stuffed parathas and i have good memories of eating hot parathas smeared with generous amount of butter in road side dhabas. Though i make good aloo parathas, somehow never got the taste of the ones i have tasted in the road side dhabas. Recently when i was running late in the morning, i made this potato filling, with the ingredients available in hand. Also usually i saute the stuffing and cool before making it, but this time made it just by mashing the cooked potatoes. Wow! the very first bite took me back to the parathas i tasted on the Highways from Delhi to Haridwar. I don't know the authentic way of making the punjabi dhaba style paratha, but the one i am sharing will definitely bring in that taste. So ahead and make the Aloo paratha and do let me know how it turned out.

Zucchini paratha recipe, Paratha recipes

Zucchini paratha with step by step picture, no onion no garlic paratha recipe, an easy to make Indian flat bread. I usually make it by squeezing the excess water from the vegetable and add it to the atta and make the dough. Recently when i visited my friend's place for lunch, she made lauki paratha. She told she made it just by adding the lauki into the flour, without squeezing the extra water. It was very soft and it tasted so yum. I just casually tried the same with zucchini last Sunday for breakfast. It turned out very well.
I realised the key is to just add very few drops of water to the dough, which helps in making a non sticky dough. Since it is a no onion no garlic paratha recipe, i thought i will share this during this time. Check out our Complete collection of No onion no garlic recipes.

Schezwan Paneer Paratha recipe

But always making of Schezwan sauce is a lazy thing for me, yes the garlic chopping part is the laziest one for me. Finally few days back i overcome my laziness and made this Schezwan sauce in a bulk quantity. Yes my kids love the flavour of schezwan sauce so i made little extra so that i can make fried rice nd noodles for them. I first wanted to post Schezwan paneer tikka but then later felt, stuffed paratha will be more flavourful and kids also will enjoy it after they come back from school. So tried Schezwan paneer paratha and it turned out so well and being a ardent fan of parathas i just finished one paratha immediately after clicking the pictures. Do try this Schezwan paneer paratha at home and let me know it turned out.

Peas Paratha | Peas stuffed paratha,with green peas and fresh masala powder. Peas paratha i have tried many years back but some how didn't like the way i made,and after that i have never attempted to make Green peas paratha.

I tried Paratha with that filling and it tasted so yum. Later i got the recipe from her and finally today i tried Peas paratha following her recipe. She told that this is basically a Bengali peas kachori filling recipe, which she learnt from her friend's mother in law. I loved the aroma of the freshly spice mix used in this paratha. Check out my

Peas Paratha recipe

  Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 25 Mins |Serves: 5 parathas

     Green peas  1/2 cup
     Turmeric powder  1/4 tsp
     Salt as needed
     Sugar  1/2 tsp
     Oil  2 tsp
     Green chili  1
     Ginger  a small piece
     Atta | Whole wheat flour  1 cup 
    Ghee or oil  to smear on the paratha
     Asafoetida  1/4 tsp
For the spice mix
    Red chili  2-3

    Elachi | cardamom  1
    Coriander seeds  2 tsp
    Cumin seeds  1 tsp 
    Fennel seeds | sombu  1 tsp
    Cinnamon  a small stick
Method:

• Knead the dough and keep it aside. Divide this into lemon sized equal dough balls.
• I used frozen peas. If using fresh peas, pressure cook for 2-3 whistles. Drain the water completely and keep aside. Let this cool completely.
• Dry roast the coriander seeds,red chili,cumin seeds,cinnamon,cloves and cardamom for few minutes in a low flame.
• Switch off the flame and add the fennel seeds.
• Allow this to cool.
• Grind this into a powder. This powder only we are using as Paratha masala. It yielded 4 tsp of masala.
• Grind the peas, green chili and ginger into a coarse paste.
• In a pan add 2 tsp of oil and add asafoetida. Now add the coarsely ground peas mixture.
• Add 2-3 tsp of the spice mixture, the parantha masala, turmeric powder and salt.
• Mix well and cook till the mixture becomes dry.
• Switch off the flame and let this completely dry.
• Take one dough ball and dust this with dry flour.
• Roll this into a thick disc.
• Place 1 tblsp of Peas mixture on this.
• Cover this as how we do for modakam,by bringing the edges together.
• Dust this in the dry flour and roll this gently into parathas.
• I always love my parathas bit thinner, if you want this thick roll accordingly.
• Heat a tawa and cook the paratha on both sides. 
• Smear oil or ghee on both sides.
• Serve hot with plain yogurt.      

   The filling was perfect for 5 parathas. I was left with one dough ball. So you can add 2 tblsp extra peas to make the filling more for that extra dough.

SWEET CHAPATHI RECIPE| TRIANGLE PARATHA

Chapathi, my mom used to make it very rarely when we are kids. Dosa will be the most  made tiffin at home and we all enjoy dosa like anything. Chapathis amma will make once in a month when she has off day. Though appa is diabetic, she makes more of Godhuma dosa , also he doesn't like chapathi much. Even if she makes chapathi,veg kurma will be the only side dish she knows to make and later she learnt channa masala from my athai. Sometimes she makes simple onion tomato gravy or coconut chutney too. We used to scold her if she makes coconut chutney for chapathi. But nowadays i like that combo.  But whenever she makes chapathi, she makes this sweet chapathi for us and it is our most favourite one too. My paati makes this sweet chapathi in triangle shape and mom do it in round shape. My mil makes regular chapathi like triangle parathas and later we changed it to phulkas as they are healthy.
 Few days back when me and my hubby were talking about the childhood food memories, we both remembered about this sakkara chapathi . So i thought i will post this recipe here. Do you have any childhood memories related to this sweet chapathi, i would love to hear. Share in the comment section below.

PLAIN PARATHA |PLAIN PARATHA RECIPE |PARATHA RECIPES

   As South Indians, we always make idli, dosa, upma for breakfast but parathas rarely take place in our menu for breakfast. Some times when i make aloo paratha for kids lunch box and keep the same for me for breakfast. During our trip to Delhi, ( i know i am talking too much about the trip, please bear with me) we happened to have parathas for breakfast on most of the days. But we all enjoyed as whenever we go for an international holiday we end up eating cornflakes, bread and juice for breakfast. Few years back when we go for a North India trip we hunt for places to have South Indian food , but now a days Indian Vegetarian food is more comfortable for us ,especially for me. These plain parathas i have added in my last week's cooking for guests menu. So if you have guest, you need not not make lot of chapathis, just few parathas you can make as they are thick.
