Easy aloo methi paratha is my favourite recipe,as it can be made without the fuss of making and stuffing the aloo stuffing and then stuffing it inside the parathas. This method is easier and quicker way to make Aloo parathas. you don’t need to make the stuffing separately and then stuff it inside. Instead everything is mixed together in the dough itself.
First of all boil and mash the potatoes, wash and roughly chop the fenugreek leaves. addition of ginger and green chilies is optional but enhance the flavour. instead of fenugreek leaves you can add fresh coriander leaves too.
