Aloo Parantha / Stuffed Potato Parantha
Wow one more use of potatoes loved by every one. In fact my one year grand child asks for this all the time. This is a universal favorite for all age groups from one year onward. Obviously, you might want to skip the Serrano peppers and the chili powder if you are going to make it for children. This is a dish that you can eat any time of the day. The trick is to mash the potatoes well to stuff in the parantha, so it does not tear. You can be generous with the ghee or oil, it definitely will taste better with more ghee but I am keeping my promise of adding healthy recipes with less oil. The best paranthas I have had is when my mom cooked them. Her paranthas would just melt in the mouth. She was famous for her paranthas. She is not with us any more but the taste is still in my mouth.
