aloo roti recipe | potato roti recipe | how to make alu roti with detailed photo and video recipe. a healthy and easy way of making a potato infused indian flatbread recipe. it can be an amazing alternative to chapati or roti. these potato-based roti’s are ideal for your next lunch or dinner and can be served with just raita or spicy tangy pickle.
i guess by now, many would have confused this recipe with the popular stuffed punjabi aloo paratha recipe. whenever you have aloo and flatbread together in one recipe, it fair to assume the alu paratha. but trust me this recipe is entirely different from it. there is a major difference between these 2 recipes. basically the main difference in these 2 recipe is, in this recipe i have mixed and infused the boiled and mashed potatoes within the dough. in other words the recipe is very similar to thepla or masala roti where the spiced ingredient is mixed directly to wheat dough. whereas, in aloo paratha, the aloo stuffing is prepared separately and later stuffed within the wheat-based covering to roll it into a flatbread.
while there isn’t any complicated steps in this aloo roti recipe, yet some tips and suggestions for perfect recipe. firstly, the recipe can be shaped to desired shape as per your preference. i have shaped it to basic circular shaped roti, but it can be made as triangular and even square-shaped roti. secondly, these roti’s remain fresh for days and hence can be prepared as travel meal. moreover it does not require any fancy curry and can be eaten as it is. lastly, the same recipe can be extended by adding other boiled and mashed veggies to the wheat dough. for instance, you can add gobi, carrot, peas and even broccoli for extra flavour.
