Aloo Paratha

Whole wheat bread stuffed with spiced potato — soft wheat dough encasing a filling of mashed boiled potato seasoned with cumin, green chilli, coriander, garam masala, and amchur, rolled flat and cooked on a tawa with liberal butter or ghee until both sides are golden and the surface is flecked with dark brown blisters. Eaten for breakfast with white butter, pickled mango, and yogurt. Paranthe Wali Gali in Chandni Chowk has served these since the nineteenth century. The most beloved North Indian breakfast.
