Aloo paratha recipe, How to make aloo paratha

Aloo paratha is one such easy and quick to make yummy breakfast that is relished with curd, pickle and few sips of hot tea/ chai. Aloo paratha the stuffing can be prepared in different ways but the one posted here is my favorite and my mom makes it that way. Aloo paratha is so close to my heart since it is the first paratha with stuffing I learnt to prepare. I still remember  the first time when I made it, all the stuffing came out and the paratha tore. But even then my family relished it without any hesitation. Since then I kept trying and finally one day got it right. This delicacy does not need any side dish according to me since I like it just as it is but a dip in the curd and pickle shall make it more yummy. I love them when they are made thin and i make it that way. So lets get to the making!!
