Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make aloo paratha without a roti maker?

Yes. Roll it gently with a rolling pin and cook it on a hot tawa with ghee or butter, pressing the edges so it cooks evenly.

Why does the stuffing come out of the paratha?

The filling is too moist or there is too much of it. Use completely cooled, dry mashed potatoes and seal the dough well before rolling.
