Jhatpat Aloo Paratha
Ever tried making aloo paratha this way??? It’s fast and simple, especially for someone like me who hates rolling parathas and chapatis, let alone stuffing it with something. 
For the jhatpat aloo paratha, you will need:
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 2 potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 tsp ginger chili paste
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- chopped coriander
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- salt to taste
Mash the potatoes and add all the ingredients except the flour.
Now add as much flour as needed to make a soft dough like chapati. (Do not add water) Add 1/2 tsp oil and knead the dough.
Roll them into thick parathas and cook on a pan with ghee/oil on both the sides till golden brown specs are seen.
Serve with pickle, raita or yogurt.

Hey Coffee…
Nice paranthas…anything made from aaloo is heaven and if they are paranthas then nothing like it. I liked your recipe a lot. I make it with left over dals…make dough using dal instead of water.
Thanks..
Nidhi.
hey,
me in the same boat i.e. hate rolling roti or paratha. Have tried this but not that often. Great pics in each step as usual
My mom used to make it this way for my lunch box when I was young. It comes out real soft & fluffy, doesn’t it? Perfect for packed lunch.
Hey Coffee
l Love the aloo parathas, seems simple and yet tasty. I hate rolling too…always end up with a map of india in shapes my parathas and not round ones …~smile~..I have tried those chapptie presses and they are aweful…ah well.. I guess practice makes perfect.
thanks
Hey Coffee,
I have to agree with you about rolling chapatis…no matter now much I try just can’t get them round!
I think I will make your recipe asap as I love aloo paratha except never been game enough!
Praveena.
Hi Coffee
The recipe seems simple. Nothing like a warm aloo paratha with a drop of ghee:)
I deftly love these, always wanted to learn how to make these.I did try few times , but unsuccessfully:) Thanks girl for this, will give it try.
I make this too…and I make it the same way, I don’t like to stuff and roll…takes too much time! I love these Parathas with garlic chutney! and of course, tea!
Hi Coffee,
!!
Different way of making my fav aloo parathas…..i usually make methi, palak, muli or gobi parathas this way..never tried aloo parathas like this…will sure try it..
Nice recipies on ur blog…keep coming with more for foodies like me
Take Care,
Sangeeta.
Coffee,
As soon as I saw your recipe I bookmarked it under must try. I made last night and was a great sucess. I will blog it soon.
ooh..this is my morning alu porota! suchmuch jatpat.
Hi Coffee, Your aloo parantha recipe is awesome. It’s a good idea to knead everything with flour.
hey Coffee! that’s a funny coincidence — i just did something with parathas also. these look great. something else to make, i guess! does jhatpat mean fast?
long time no see :)…what’s up ?

“hates rolling”
Ah! and your MBP theme is to roll
Heheh…… you can see tha tI haven’t submitted my own entry for the event
[…] and get the rolling pin in my hand!!! NAH!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t!!!!! Someone read about my laziness to roll and the heights of keeping it as the theme for this month and I still didn’t budge from […]
Aha, so there are others who take this classic shortcut as well
One variation I tried was the same with Maida - I kept the dough aside for a few hours and almost magically, the parathas turn out as though one has stuffed aloo inside them!!
