Aloo Paratha is one of the most loved Indian breakfast and lunch box recipes for kids and adults alike. This soft and flavorful stuffed paratha is filled with mildly spiced mashed potatoes, greens, and a touch of cheese, making it both nutritious and delicious.
This recipe holds a special place in my heart because my little Varsha has loved aloo paratha ever since she was one year old. During our weekend outings, we would always order her a non-spicy aloo paratha first before choosing our own meals. This recipe is lovingly dedicated to my sweet Varsha kutty ❤️

Method
