Aloo Paratha - Potato Stuffed Flatbread

[rajeshxuser]

Thanks ladies :) God Bless!!

[vimcho]

which potatoes do you use for paranthas, tikkis, vadas etc. I don't like the texture of any potatoes here in the USA

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@vimcho : We usually use the red potatoes but have used the russet potatoes as well :)

[MegaTruecolours]

i love these old showmethecurry vids.. xx

[amitkp80]

where did u find that lazy Susan....and how much did u pay?....thanks in advance....

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@amitkp80 : We got it from a kitchen store quite a while ago and it was under 20 dollars.

[sushanalone]

interesting in my home recepe we grate the onion and cook it with a little oil along with the other spices and then add it to the mashed potato. also turmeric will give a nice uniform colour to it.

[minu1955]

easy 2 make & tasty & healthy

[ShuhanaNY]

Love love love! Your recipes I've tried a lot of your recipes and they all came out beautifully! I was just wondering if you have a recipe on how to cook Haleem?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@ShuhanaNY : We do not have Haleem video yet but do have it on our list of recipes to do :)

[pinalpritesh]

Hi,

Is it necessary to use chaat masala? Shall we use any thing instead of it?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@pinalpritesh : You can skip it if you do not have any.

[pinalpritesh]

Thanks for receipr.

[laksitha1000]

Hi I like ur every recipe. Great. i don't knw what is that chaat masala?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@laksitha1000

Chat Masala is a blend of many different spices. You can find it at any Indian grocery store or online.

[MrsADBook]

I'm looking forward to making these!

[coolbloger]

not much interesting recipe......it's simple.....a little sprinkle of chat masala and kasturi methi(dry) makes it more tasty then shown in video.......

[hirlal]

dirty pan~!!

[hulumaan]

ur method suks ladies

[blue15rose]

HI, wat is cilanta? is it spring levs every1 pts it in their aloo paratha

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@blue15rose

Cilantro is also known as coriander leaves or dhaniya. Yes, it is used commonly as a garnish in many Indian dishes.

[patisserie1]

Ladies where did you all get that circular work board. How do you call it.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@patisserie1 : In Hindi it is called a "Chakla". What we have used is a marble Lazy Susan and it does the job well :) We bought it at the kitchen store.

[AceCommander17R]

ummmm.. are punjabi or what

[kngsunny]

looks easy but hard to make

[rinku1729]

Hi Anuja/Hetal,

I made aloo paratha as per your measurement ,but while rolling paratha ,stuffing does not spread in the middle part of paratha and it tastes as plain paratha in middle and some time it come out while rolling , why it had happened ? what was the mistake ? what shoud i do for that?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@rinku1729 : The part that you twist once the alu has been stuffed in is probably very thick and fat so it is taking over. Pinch some of the atta out if you feel it's too much.

:)

[deepika0911]

do u cook it on low heat?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@deepika0911 : Medium heat but the tawa needs to be really hot before you put the paratha on it.

[89niyu]

ur bth helping me a lot in all the receipes... even aloo paratha tastes better with curd and onion which mix together with tht it tastes better and thnks for all ur receipes..

[mumclt]

Hey, do you guys also hold cooking classes?

If not, you definitely should..the way you explain is very well done :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mumclt

Thanks!  We have some cooking classes coming up at Central Market in Dallas!

[L0lal0la23]

hi!.. ve gotta a question.... is whole wheat flour same as chappati/atta flour??

thank u!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@L0lal0la23

Although Chapati flour says "Whole Wheat" on the package, it is milled a little more than the whole wheat flour you find in American grocery stores. Therefore, the color is somewhat lighter.

[shahnaznafil]

Hi, i tried this... but d paratha started to open up... i refrigerated d potatoes b4 i rolled them... cud tht b d problem... it tasted fine though :)

[Boyrulezz]

My mom makes awesome lookinh Aloo Paraathad and they taste so yummy just a shame they are so heavy LOL

[daliajoh]

tried ur recipe.turned out great.thanks

[jeffrey64]

thanks for sharing, it's nice to see as opposed to reading about what to do!

[HFMMelodies]

Fantastic recipe. However, one word of CAUTION: while spraying oil onto any heated surface, the rule of thumb is to remove the tawa away from the flame for a second and then spray. Or turn the flame off. Whichever is easier. So always spray away from the flame.

You don't want a fireball while cooking something this delicious!

[neurocosm]

@HFMMelodies -  LOL

[sabawaqas1]

hi,i am living in Jordan and i cant find Tawa here..so what shouldj i do for replacement?Can u help?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can use a non-stick skillet or even a cast iron pan will work.

[cookiesncream789]

Saba... I have never in my life owned a tawa and I make rotis almost everyday in my non stick frying pan.

=)

[timmoss10]

Come on, neither are professionals, but as amateur cooks, they leave a lot of TV chefs behind. Simple, straightforward style with no ego, great tips, tricks and good explanations.

[darshan289]

If you dont like it then just stop watching. I guess us are not here for their language skill...

[smasahab]

how desi.....:)

[TheThebeautyqueen]

we dont fry the parathas like thet they are put into a pan with alot of oil!!

[rockbottom31]

[VteBarack08]

Hey can you make a video on how to make masala Dosa, because that's one of my most favorite top vegetarian meal. Thanks

[heroin786]

[sea786]

[dahlpuri1919]

[smartharry123]

theres nothing indian heritage in this.... this viseo is not only for indian people but people who are not indian and love indian food... the world is global now ..... dumbo

[sextusloverlord]

Hi... u want 2 marriage 2 me?

[xxHannaxx111]

excuse meh but .....u never showed how yhoo make the dough of the parataz how are beginers supposed to know? If u hve a channel you may aswell show the whole recipe not just half of it..thank you

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We have a basic Paratha/Chapatti dough video already on our website or here on youtube. We didn't want to repeat the entire process again in an effort to keep our videos short.

[thilina121212]

Thank you so much,I made these and they were a hit! Love the recipe.

[pathu32]

uhhh? raw onions???? cooked sauteed onions taste MUCH better! hey what is that marble thing that rotates? where did you get that?

[pathu32]

i eat these with ketchup!!

[goazdabst]

tht marble thing is called rolling pin...

[ShowMeTheCurry]

The rolling pi is actually a lazy susan...it can be bought at any store that sells kitchen products. Ask for Marble Lazy Susan and not Rolling Pin.

[dimple32]

I've actually discovered the Silpat for rolling rotis and stuff, it's great because nothing sticks.

[harshme1980]

@pathu32

raw onions ??? Yes, it tastes so better. If you eat aloo paratha anywhere in north/delhi/punjab its raw onions only. In fact you can get pyaz ( raw onion ) parathas also on any dhaba. I love them. It's matter of personal taste.

[pathu32]

@harshme1980 hehe...yes I know that now...I commented about two years ago and I didn't cook back then...but now i know...my dad opened an Indian restaurant and the chef is from Punjab, he makes them just like this! And I LOVE them!! LOL :)

[harshme1980]

@pathu32

Hey great to know that your father opened an indian restaurant. Congratualtions!!.

good to know that you like raw onions now ...hahaha

By the way where's your restaurant ?

[pathu32]

@harshme1980 i ate raw onions before...just not inside the stuffed roti thing...

[plasmagic]

when i roll out, the potato came out of the dough

[ShowMeTheCurry]

When rolling the initial small disc, try to roll it such that the center is thicker than the edges. The edges are gathered and will make the opposite side thick also. This will prevent the dough in the center from becoming too thin and letting the potato out. Good Luck!

[sendevz]

Tried gobi paratha taking some tips from seeing u roll out parathas & finally(read FINALLY ;) )I was able to make fantastic parathas... :)

[MUJHOOL]

i love your rolling pin

[Piddyx]

Shahrukh Khan loves aloo paratha!

[nochemistry]

Shahrukh Khan is a fag.

But Aloo Paranthas are awesome.

[umeshway]

The girls look very nervous....I guess they are...

[umeshway]

Can't you use big spoon or you would just use your hands ?

[Lintassimilator]

Nnnnnooooooooooo! Dont use the evil spray! :D

I will try this definitely, but without the spray, it looks delicious :)

You two are awesome, and hot! :D

[uhsay]

Hahahah i eat mine with MAKHAN!! (BUTTER!) Nice video. :D
