Some years ago me and my wife made a long travel through India and we fell in love in this beautiful country and of course its fantastic food. Now I cook Indian dishes at home for the whole family. Thanks to your videos my food tastes almost like that we ate in India.

[@ryt7878]

Lucky family to enjoy your food! I live here in India so am proud you do this for them.❤

[@misspollysdolly]

Please visit pakistan too you'll be surprised how amazing it is

[@DeaMathew]

I pay $8.99 for Aloo paratha. After watching this video I am going to try it at home. Thanks for the inspiration to cook.🙏🥞

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@mohammedpanju2236]

Way to go, DeaMathew. $8.99 is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY ... Grrrr. You can make your own BESPOKE Aloo Paratha according to your own taste. After a bit of practice, you'll find that the technique comes very naturally. MUCH CHEAPER TOO - a FRACTION of the Cost. Have a go with making METHI PARATHA and also MASALA PARATHA too for a variation. Plenty of Recipes available on KZbin. Similar Technique. LOVELY RECIPE by Chetna - Beautifully explained Step by Step for Novices. Thank you, Chetna Be'hen. 🙏🇮🇳

[@budgieboy52]

Excellent tutorial. I've made indian cuisine since living next door to an Indian couple in the 70's. We invited them for English Sunday lunch and then they invited us for their Sunday fare: really good. I was then taught by an Indian restaurant chef abd owner that I knew in the 80's. What an eye opener. I love Indian and Asian food and cook most of my dishes now from scratch. Parathas I was not so good at but now with your video I can now feel that I make them how they should be. Thank you Chetna. They are not as round or as perfect as yours but they taste divine thanks again.

[@user-jb7nr4bd5g]

As I said before sister Chetna, you are the best teacher. Today I made paratha with left over Mince and Okra as a stuffing. Worked out excellent. Love from Khalid and family from Scotland. x

[@capucinemaneckjee5276]

Thank you Chetna for this wonderful video. I just ate my first easy to make and amazingly delicious aloo paratha! I've found that I can make the chapati dough and store it in the fridge for a day or two and it only becomes more pliable to work with, soft and tender in its cooked texture, and so convenient to take out a piece to cook fresh each day. I've also made channa dal twice now and am in love. I appreciate what you said in one of your videos about this being healthy food, not health food. These dishes are so flavourful and satisfying, as well as being so gentle on the body. I've been making the same few Indian recipes for many years, and it's wonderful to branch out. I'm trying to decide which of your chicken curries to try first. Thank you and best wishes to you for a happy spring!

"What is parantha without butter?.... nothing." Agreed 😅 I had my first potato parantha staying at my friend's house in Delhi. It blew my mind how delicious it was. As a potato fan, I was sad it came into my life so late. Gonna try making this!! Thank you!

[@rafkend1422]

Excellent! I like the simplicity of making this, much less labor than making the Alu Samosas. I wonder if it is similar in taste to samosas. I would love to see this deep fried to crisp the dough and dip in mint or tamarind sauce...Now I can declare you as the Alu Queen/Master of London Chetna!!

[@janesmith4617]

I am definitely going to make this now I've watched your video! I was fascinated by how you rolled the parathas out--the way they seemed to turn themselves was great. I would love to know how you do that (apart from, as you said, years of practice!)

[@54725]

The key is you do not press hard but just smooth the dough and it begins to roll. It does require practice or a mom in law like mine, shooting daggers with her eyes at a South Indian, totally only accustomed to making dosas 😅. She now says I’m the best daughter in law in the world, so all is forgiven 😊

[@anneagk-pc8cu]

Thank you for this delicious recipe. I didn't have the special flour so I mixed what I had in the pantry, 50gr of besan flour 50gr of buckwheat flour + 100gr of ordinary flour. Then I followed your recipe and let the dough sit for half an hour. Oh surprise the dough is perfect. Merci Madame 👏

[@FoodwithChetna]

Sounds great!

[@alisonhughes2164]

I am sure Chetna that your parathas will be absolutely delicious when I make them but will never surpass the taste of the aloo parathas I had for my first breakfast in India. We had arrived at Delhi airport expecting to be met by a bus and teachers from Patiala with our lunch. We had it impressed upon us not to eat any of the food at the airport so we didn't dare to. The bus was delayed by a lorry blockade on the roads and then broke down. It arrived at midnight by which time the English style picnic lunch they had brought was virtually inedible. We travelled all through the night to Patiala. So by the time we had our parathas we were rather hungry and they were so delicious.

[@FoodwithChetna]

first of all your were hungry so anything will taste great. but most importantly these are pure comfort and joy. You can never find exact taste in different countries because the produce tastes different everywhere!

[@taxqueen4227]

I have always wanted to make aloo parathas but it has never worked out til now.... either my dough would be too dry or my stuffing would explode outside of the paratha..... you explained everything so well and mine turned out well, finally!, I am inspired to try different fillings next....could you please do a tutorial?

When I lived in NYC, my favorite Indian restaurant used to put peas, in their Alu Paratha. It was also very much fluffier than most every other Indian restaurant, I've been to (not flat). It was so amazing and delicious. Was I eating something else? LOL. I miss it so much.

[@courtg6683]

I have no knowledge of Indian food other than going to restaurants every so often but I happened to watch an ig video of someone making Amritsari Kulcha today and it’s a fluffier potato stuffed flatbread. Perhaps that’s it?

Hi, can you tell me more about that flat pan you're using? Is it cast iron?

[@helenburghardt3560]

Thank you for another great recipe, Chetna! May I know what is Atta flour made of? Can I substitute it for sorghum flour?

[@sakshirawat887]

Atta is whole wheat flour. Parathas are made best in gluten rich flours.

[@helenburghardt3560]

@@sakshirawat887 thank you for your kind response, Sakshi!

[@cabalpaxiarch7239]

I can't easily find atta here in Greece, but I have found that using half whole wheat and half plain flour works just fine. At least the parathas come out really good. Of course it won't be exactly like the original but I just made lacha parathas recently and they were so delicious even though I still can't decide if your's or your mother's method is better. I think your's produces more flakes and is foolproof, but more time consuming while your mother's is a bit harder to get right but if you practice you can make many more of them in half the time. So if I'm making 2-3 I use your's, if I'm having a dinner party I use your mum's.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much Cabal

[@umsalem1081]

[@sgartncraft]

Hello Didi, Very Nice recipe. However, if you add Kasuri Methi and Black salt also then it will enhance the taste of the filling.

[@ashleymustafa3650]

Can you do a master class on the different types of dal/lentils and what can be substituted? I am forever confused about chana dal, lentils, masoor dal...then black lentils are also called matpe to add to my confusion. Or even just a graphic explaining it.

This looks fantastic. I need to translate recipe for an electric griddle. One thing that would be extremely helpful would be if you could take a temperature reading of the cooking pan at the “right, best” temperature. This probably requires an infrared thermometer so I know I’m asking a lot. The recipes and especially the teaching detail and style are very helpful and enjoyable. I’m collecting whole spices and looking forward to bringing the restaurant experience into my own kitchen. Thank you.

[@richardwallace6313]

Someday, I will learn to roll them without the filling bursting through or learn to accept that it will probably burst through here and there, no big deal. I had mooli paratha the other day for the first time. Radish is not as tasty as potato (or gobhi). My wife loves paratha with chundo, but I prefer avakaya (mango pickle either way, though the avakaya is way hotter and very mustardy, while chundo is a tad sweet and a bit hot). snowed again here, too--sick of March snow (third one!); I guess it is making up for the mild January and February with an awful March I wish our large groceries sold atta, but at least we have several desi groceries nearby. FYI, vaguely interesting, in U.S. Asian grocery generally refers to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean stores. The South Asian ones tend to be called Indian or Indo-Pak groceries (all part of American ignorance of the world and what is included in Asia, I guess). I do laugh thinking how the BJP extremists would react to the term Indo-Pak. Another great use of parboiled potatoes is to make hash browns.
