Aloo Roti Potato bread recipe
Aloo roti Potato bread recipe is one popular Indian flat Bread recipe. This is a quicker version of stuffed aloo paratha.
Stuffed aloo paratha needs more potatoes and a little bit more work. So I make aloo roti when I am short of potatoes or when I want to use less amount of potato and when I am short on time.
Aloo roti can be part of breakfast, lunch or dinner or as a snack. It is easy and quick to prepare.
You can prepare the dough in advance. You may keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days and need only a few minutes to make rotis as and when you want.
Serve Aloo roties with pickle, curry, or just with plain yogurt. It can be a one dish meal too.
Aloo roti can be served hot from the girdle or at room temperature. So you can take it for lunch to office or school or for a picnic.
