Aloo Paratha

By

 


Hello friends,

     Today I will share you one famous Indian paratha recipe "Aloo Paratha". According food historian K.T Acharya the recipes for various stuffed wheat parathas are mentioned in 'Manasollasa', a 12th-century Sanskrit encyclopedic record compiled by king "Someshvara III",who ruled from present Karnataka.

      There are several different types of parathas that are found across the nation. Paratha is an amalgamation of the words 'Parat' and 'atta'. This literally means layers of cooked dough. In India 'Paratha' is one such item that is popular across the subcontinent with local variations from various different regions. Hope you like the information.😊
