Aloo paratha

Aloo paratha is a type of Indian bread that has a yummy filling made of mashed potatoes and different spices. Think of it like a yummy potato sandwich made with bread that is cooked on a flat pan.

To make the dough, flour is mixed with water and a bit of salt. The dough is then rolled into small circles, and the potato filling is placed in the center. Then, the edges of the circle are brought up and sealed to make a small, stuffed ball.

Next, the ball is gently rolled out, making sure the filling doesn't escape, and cooked on a flat pan over medium heat. Butter or ghee (a type of clarified butter) is usually added to make it more delicious.

Once the bread is cooked, it has a crispy outside and a soft inside filled with the warm, tasty potato filling. It is commonly eaten for breakfast or as a snack in many parts of India.

So, in short, aloo paratha is a yummy bread that has a potato filling and it's cooked on a flat pan.
