Most technical Aloo parantha ever 😁😁😁!!!
I was about to say the same 😂
If this is the aloo paratha typically made in India ....
@@altmosetz_01unlike what she said, in India nowadays, people are hesitant to eat Maida, so just like in the video people nowadays generally use all purpose wheat flour. In my family the filling is fried before filling it. The dough is definitely not measured using a ruler ,and rest is same
@@shiajinn2509 Wheat flour which is made of whole wheat grains is commonly used in Indian homes in daily food items such as Chappatti & Paratha .
Maida which is the ultra refined starchy white part of wheat grain without the bran is mostly used for food items that are crisp / crumbly such as Naan, Bhatura , Samosa.
Indians do not use Maida in regular food as its considered to be unhealthy compared to wheat flour
@@altmosetz_01 just like you said it, whole wheat is commonly used for Paratha. Aloo paratha is also a paratha but with stuffing 😋
I laughed so hard when she took out the ruler 😂😂
rulers are fine, because they are trained culinary chefs. who are trained to be precise, for restaurant setting.
Not at all fine even if they are chef. In fact if they are chef, they should not be using any measurements..@@pruthvimeka3259
hahah yeah
😂😂😂😂
When you start learning, it's better to measure everything to get good results. Eventually you just learn to measure instinctively.
This way you learn fast and be consistent.
Our moms just had more time to learn by hit and trial, professional chefs don't.
There is nothing wrong in there.
Slightly crispy Aloo Prathas with mixed pickle and curd is heaven.
And Lassi aftermath.
Makhan (butter) bhi
@@Rahul-vp7sj han ji butter vi
As a Punjabi from Pakistan,I must say every Punjabi's day starts with Paratha, whether it's simple or aloo wala or especially in winters mooli ka paratha💖
Sada wasda raway Punjab🔥
the way she made aloo paratha made me laugh🤣🤣right?
Long live punjab
mooli paratha!! Hell no.
Mooli paratha 👌
@@ZoldicsDiariestastes Good. Smells oooof
A scientific and mathematical way to cook Alu Paratha…
Love from India.
hahahhahah🤣
😂😂
😅
😵
अरे मुझे तो इनके बेलन पर हसी आ रही है यार , क्या है ये 😂😂😂
Finally.. They are eating with hands 👏
Eating with hands has a scientific effect on your body! 🙏🏻
They were... pizza, burger...but I don't think any rice items though.
U think? U have brain? U sure? @us-du44fx4u
Spoon and fork pakadne ke liye bhi hands chahiye..🤣
@@breeze4343yeah, driving a car is walking
She is making alu paratha like a science project
The end result is very good. So don't bother.
Bkwas 10saal k bache bi is se acha bnate hai hmare yhn 😂😂😂
That's true.
Well said
0:25 so she's not even realizing that she is showing the recipe of a traditional Punjabi breakfast but one made by a Marathi! (An Indian ethnicity living thousands of kilometres away from Punjab). I think we underestimate the Unity in Diversity that India possesses sometimes. Aloo Paratha is a dear favorite of all Indians in and outside of Punjab today. And now, it has reached international level too!
It's like asking someone from Sweden how to make lasagna. People outside India don't realize our state to state differences are even wider than the country to country differences in Europe.
@@mooo6747ofc Sweden makes one of the best lasagna 😜
(Pewds refrence)
And who use unhealthy maida in paratha, I am Rajasthan and that's not aloo paratha
Parathas are soul food of Punjabi People. Looks Like It Becomes International Soul Food❤
Aloo paratha is made using whole wheat flour. I have never heard anyone in India using all purpose flour or maida to make aloo paratha
In USA, Indian atta is not easily available
@@tushararaghavan9565 yes it is easily available
@@tushararaghavan9565Right 👍👍
We will get atta of different companies in , indian.. bengali or pakistani or malayali stores..
Almost all zomato restaurants do that
As an Indian, it’s so nice to see ATK foraying into Indian cooking. Way to go ATK!
Yes it is, but what would be even better is if they had an Indian presenter in front of the camera... just saying...
@@DraytonHanna Maybe their Indian colleagues don't want to be in front of the camera. We have to respect that too.
Or maybe, they’re just starting to lose viewers :p
@@DizzyBusy Yeah, it makes no difference to me who presents a recipe as long as the recipe, presentation and techniques are good and honor the recipe's roots.
@@justjd911 By doing what?
Heartwarming to see both the ladies being very respectful and open ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
My father chuckled when you used the ruler. Eyeballing is a go-to way for all kinds of asian cuisines
The fact that they could roll it without any of the stuffing coming out ..hats off to them ! (and all the Indian moms as always)
that’s because they’re using maida. it stretches.
@@jakyastik hmm yeah good point I didn’t notice that
Exactly,that was too much stuffing yet it didn't came out🤯🤯🤯
when stuff comes out the taste enhances then and there!!
These episode is like how to make an easy and quick indian breakfast make difficult and time consuming😂😂
😂😂😂😂
But she did well i would say
They are not making prantha for you.Audience need best methods and presentation😊
@@hiteshkundlas he forget that our mothers are used to make them all the time so they are practiced well thats why they are fast but for audience you will have to go slow so they can understand the recipe
Bro if u see the complete process it is time consuming
A punjabi mom's recipe would have done wonders. Nobody can do aloo parathas better than Punjabis.
Also, whole wheat is way better than AP for aloo paratha and add a little roasted whole crushed coriander and diced onions. It takes the parathas to a whole new level.
I humbly disagree with your first sentence.
Excellent outcome, you folks are great.... being Indian from India 😊 i wholeheartedly approve this!!!
My friend introduced me to Indian food years ago-- HEAVEN!! Sadly, my favorite restaurants are long gone...😢 And now my favorite cooking channel is making some Indian food? I'm so excited-- if anyone can teach me how not to screw it up, it's you guys! I can't believe I might get to have Indian food again! I hope you do other Indian fare as well! Take good care!😊
Please don’t follow these recipes. If somebody starts to measure everything and use electronics fpr everything, consider it a big red flag when it comes to indian cooking. I agree that not everybody cooks the same way, but there’s always a common practice. The common practice here is to use whole wheat flour. The dough is kneaded by hand, and no matter what, ot would always taste better with pickle, then with salad..
Better, just search for the indian cooks and their method of cooking. Without the exact measurements, it might be off a few times from perfect, but trust me, once you get the appropriation of the ingredients, it would taste a thousand times better than the way of cooking in this video.
No offence to anybody or any of the ways. It’s just my opinion being an indian and cooking for a few years now. Not meant to hurt or disrespect anybody. Thanks
Quick tips if you want a simple version with easily available ingredients:
1. Boil potatoes and prepare dough as instructed.
2. Mash the potatoes and add salt, paprika or pepper. Nothing else. This is how most Indians do it.
3. There is no need for precise mesaurements with ruler. Dust the dough ball in some flour. Roll to the size of your palm (it should be round).
4. Cover the potato ball with the dough and gently roll (gently or the dough will tear).
5.For beginners, the smaller the potato ball in relation to dough the better. If you used too much potato stuffing in relation to the dough, the dough may tear. If the tears are small, you can ignore it cook as usual.
6. Roll after covering the stuffing with the dough roll in the shape of a circle whose diameter is the distance between the tip of your middle finger and the base of your palm.
7. Cook on cast iron or non-stick pan. Season with BUTTER.

Wheat flour rather than all purpose flour is the better and more common option for all kinds of parathas
I agree.. Maida is hard to digest..
N moreover it taste like naan not paratha
I don't know about you, but I lived in Jalandhar for three years and I have seen parathas made with maida. Mostly tandoor paranthas, sometimes with refined super fine flour (all-purpose flour). But yes, most households use whole wheat flour.
It is easy to make Paratha using maida rather than wheat
Some food are good to consume according to Ayurveda some are not very good. Maida is neither. Ayurved describes maida as "inedible"
Parathas are soul food of Punjabi People.❤
Amazing video. The machine used for making the dough was amazing. I definitely need to look into it. I usually use my hands but the machine would make it so easy.
I don't know why teachers make the topic so difficult. 😮
Meanwhile Indian Moms :
1. Potatoes (without peeling) in pressure cooker for 2 whistles. [No need to be gentle with these potatoes] and peel them after it. + Add whatever you want as per your preference.
2. Dough processer for obvious reasons.
3. Make two rotis and place mashed potatoes in middle.
4. Cook
Voilà! The dish is ready ❤
Sahi me Bhai meri mummy me ye video dekh Li to inko bohot gaali dengi pura din laga Diya 😂
Potatoes 🥔 cocking in pressure cooker 😳 then boil eggs or make chai also in pressure cooker 😂
I make aloo paratha myself but stuff it in one Dow ball, not between two roties, but everyone is free to choose hir/her own way to make it easy 🙏🏻
@@Inderbaum Pressure cooker is very good for saving cooking time and fuel, especially for hard vegetables, rice or lentils
@@Inderbaum Give it a try, mister. You are going to love it. 😃
One of my favourite Indian breakfast dishes.
I don't know about others but I have noticed whenever you cook parathas cook them over high heat . That makes it softer.
yup. The faster you cook parathas , the softer they come out.
It's so pleasing and soothing to see "Ladies Across Sea" making Aloo Paratha. The way with which 'the chef' explained everything is so nice and her voice too is so soothing. The anchor too did her great job in assisting her. I must say, I was most curious to know how they were able to roll "Masala Aloo filled Dough" to shape it in perfect circular shape. Glad to see that, they did an extremely great job.
Not even alu Paratha there are so many types of Paratha.....daal paratha ,saag paratha, muli paratha slso sweets Paratha....have proud to see Indian food in foreign kitchens,
Never in a million years did I think, I will be watching this on America's Test Kitchen 😂😂
Are you really a million years old 🤔 WoW
Punjabi’s use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour.
Majority of the Indian.
All Indians majorly
Yes
Ya pesticides filled wheat
And we are use deshi ghee instead of vegetable oil 🙂
love from panjab, land of five rivers.
M so happy seeing foreigner's making a Punjabi aaloo paratha just ❤❤❤❤❤try it with pickle also it will taste much better 😊😊😍😍😘😘😘
This looks awesome. As a potato lover, I love seeing how other cultures use the spud.
Paratha is also popular in many other states of India traditionally not only in Punjab
us cia ta work..another color revolution
But its mainly a punjabi dish.
Edit: The origin of parantha, as we know it today is Punjab
@@valley-girl its eaten all over India , I am not sure if it really originated in Punjab
@@blackpanther0990so much jealousy is unhealthy! They’re eaten all over South East Asia !
@baldevsidhu7719 Why would i be jealous Sardars are much respected around but i have much doubt about aloo paratha origins in Punjab
brilliant effort, thanks from West Punjab (Pakistan)
Wow great looks pretty . taste good
I love this!!!! And yes as some commenters are saying there’s so much variations on alu parathas - every family has its own recipe. Lots of room to experiment (filling, spices, flour type) to find the one that you like the best.
I think almost all of the food we make at home has different varieties bcz ppl like different things so they add or substitute sth they like except some dishes that we cook at some auspicious occasion
Kudos to Erin for pronouncing the hard ThA (ठा ) at the end of "paratha"!
This is how they steal - steal culture , cuisine , and later claim it as if they invented it
why kudos? Indians have to work had too for learning english. so why not expect the same from americans.
Tu solid mard hai ek kudos mujhe bhi de de lovely good looking hunk
But the rest of the pronunciations?! 😅
Which actually she didn't, truth be told. She pronounced it "ता" as in "पराता"....not even "पराथा" let alone "परांठा"....
Thanks Erin and Julia. Very Interesting. Also nice to see you enjoying the Parathas.
This is absolutely the number one aluporatha in the world.❤❤❤❤
Socialite aunts of India would prefer to watch this video to learn making paratha even though they already knew it.
Beta apni mata ki baatein na kr... Idhr pitashree ko acha nhi lgaa😅
As an Indian, all I can say that it has been made absolutely Perfect ❤️... Superb.
Oye..maide ka parantha kaun khata hai India mein😂
Really? This is perfect? Maida (all purpose flour) instead of whole wheat flour? Sugar in the dough? Onion tomato salsa instead of achaar?
@@ShwetaGupta-hd6yk
And one spoon full of curd, instead of full katori.
Not to mention, no butter on top..
What a sad parantha.
Best..in America... from Saudi Arabia
You did excellent,, amazing
Erin did a great job here! of course, specific recipes can vary from even one house to the next, but this was still good!
- y'all are in Boston, surely there are plenty of Indian grocery stores where they sell Indian spicy chillies?
- ok, your friend's mom uses _maida_ and that's why you followed that here using AP flour, but the majority of _parathas_ are made with _atta_ (stone-ground whole wheat flour)
I suate my spices, ginger and garlic first in a couple of tablespoons ghee or oil for a couple of minutes, then add the potatoes plus a 1/4 tspn of turmeric, 1tsp of salt, cilantro and mix it all in the pan.. no raw spice taste and much better combining of flavors. As said, there are many ways of making aloo paratha, varying from region to region and every family seems to have their own favorite. Thanks TK for featuring a wonderful Indian staple. 👍
Indeed, every family has its own special recipe. Like i loved the aloo stuffing that my mom made. I have hardly ever come across that kind of seasoning.
I feel we all tweak recipes to our liking, taste and convenience.
Amazing way of explaining Indian recipe ❤❤❤
Believe me its very delicious morning breakfast having it for decades as a punjabi
we need a lot more indian dishes featured on this channel
This one time, I woke up, had four of these with a glass of buttermilk, and then I just dozed off and slept the whole day !
😂😂😂😂
Great, skillful cooking with delicacy.❤
She's an excellent cook. She's mastered the Parathas perfectly. Well done 👏
This is so interesting. I married into an Indo-Caribbean family and it is interesting to see the variations in these dishes.
I know in Los Angeles a black Caribbean lady, who cooks several Indian curry dishes, which even Indians themselves praise to taste more delicious than a lot of Indians themselves’.
Love this Poonjabi Alooo Purrattha ❤
It's Paratha not purrattha
@@user-tt7ko2vy3s I believe he was joking about their pronunciation
Not the brightest star in the solar system i guess@@user-tt7ko2vy3s
Made with MADE-ah. 😂 Anyway, who makes it with maida... why did they choose that instead of atta? Looks like their consultants gave them terrible advice. And only restaurants use that amount of ghee.
Alu paratha is my favorite dish ❤
Ya really looking delicious 😮🤤
Erin should ask her colleague if she's from the south west of India. This is distinctively like the ones my mom makes. They look wonderful!
Just googled, and she's literally from my town! 😅
Oooh, I love it when things are so recognisably regional!
@@sophiusdynami3401 Wow! Very cool.
Adding a pinch of turmeric to those potatoes takes it to next level
Very well cooking. I love pratha....
She is amazing 🤩🤩🤩
I love the way she described
What is the purpose of using ghee at end you have tapped with cloth..it's completely ridiculous...don't use it...and using ruler while making pratha .. seriously 😂😂😂
I agree completely, this is ridiculous. I was half-expecting them to use a fork and knife to eat the Paratha.
Also why needlessly present the complicated version of this dish to people who have never heard of it? Most Americans do not have access to things like Ajwain and Ghee. My mother just mashes the aloo(potatoes) and add salt and paprika. That's enough. And if you don't have ghee, add butter. It tastes better with butter anyway.
hahahaahahahaa..kalyug bhrataashree.
Looks great. Erin's delivery is neat and easy to follow.
Appreciable 🎉
OMG!! That ruler🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Although..the parathas look mouth-watering 🤤😋🫰🏼
Awesome! Can't wait for ATK to make dosas!
it looks absolutely delicious... the color, the texture, the thickness... perfect ... AND the GHEE ... oooo la la ...
Allu pratha with yogart very tasty I love Punjab ❤
Beutiful Aloo Paratha Resipi
They replaced pickle with salad 😂
These Aloo Paratha look yummy gotta try soon, thanks for this recipe!!
W😮W, eatung with own hands(Miracle )👏👏👏.
अत्यंत सुंदर दृश्य ❤
Hardcore Punjabi here (pronounced Panj-aab not Pun-jaab btw). Generally very accurate but this recipe has south Indian twist as never ever known paratha served with onion tomatoes salsa thing. Coconut doesnt go into any Punjabi dishes. We serve paratha with tons of home made yoghurt, a tub of butter and lots of achar. Yum yum.
😂😂
English speakers will call panjab- like jam-jab. The correct way to tell them how to pronounce it Is Pun- jahb, not poon- jab.
Was thinking same. Have North and South Indian friends and my first thought at seeing the coconut was that's a South Indian thing. But I thought the kachumber was North Indian?
I wanted to make this comment about coconuts instantly but then I realized even potato is not natively Indian and came just a few hundred years ago
Unhealthy breakfast
Thank you. This is how you make it the Punjabi way💗
Here in India al the measurements are in the hands and mind of the cook. I have had many reactions watching this episode but finally I settled down on praising your efforts in making a totally foreign dish. And the final outcome was very tasty looking alu paratha... ❤ Congratulations 👏
Thank you for covering this most loved Indo/Pak dish! My Mom (and now me) have always made aloo parathas with whole wheat flour vs maida. It truly elevates the flavors and nutrition. Brava!
THERE WAS NO PAK, WHEN ANCESTORS CREATED DELICIOUS PARATHAS..IT IS PURLY INDIAN!
@carmelFan2024 what culture does PAK have? Ancient Indian/Satanan or middle eastern? You guys have nothing to do with Indian culture.
@@friendforever2859 There was no india as well when pararha created. It created in punjab which had no link india before colonization. Stop crying and attaching everything to india.
Come to DESI punjab villages to experience real taste of PARATHA.
Thank you for the Praha recipe. Only one thing was missing, you have to eat them with Punjabi mango pickles, yum! You can get the pickles at any Indian or Pakistani grocery stores.
And what’s the difference between PUNJABI mango pickles and regular INDIAN mango pickles?
❤ from my india 🇮🇳
Very tasty dish allu prantha ..from Punjab
Yummy 😋
That looks good especially for a change.
Delicious ❤
Never thought making of Alou wala paratha is so much technical and scientific abroad.😂. Anyways loads of love from Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.
Looks delicious 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. I've never seen this kind of bread before. I am going to have to try this. ❤
it is NOT bread. it is paratha. bread is not the standard.
Its like daily breakfast in Indian sub continent
My mom makes best aloo paratha in the world..❤
IN India we like to eat this aalu paratha in winter season.. its feels very tasty..with coriander garlic and ginger chatani LOve from India to ATK
Stuffed parathas are generally enjoyed with Chutneys of sweet & spicy kind. The most famous two chutneys that go with stuffed parathas are Coriander-Mint Chutney, and Tamarind Sweet & Tangy Chutney.
A tomato-onion salad of this kind is not something that I have ever seen.
Good try. But dont use all purpose flour (Maida) to make parantha. Use Wheat flour for real taste. and also mix chopped onion with potato dough..for me, Aaloo Parantha is the most favorite.❤
You don't know how good it feels to eat them in morning in winter seasons🤤🤤
Wow 😲
Awesome
Terlihat sangat lezat, saya menyukainya
You have dehealthified a reasonably healthy breakfast
Delicious 😋
Nice. Punjabi’s have it with Achar- hot pickle and yogurt.
Yeah, that is the best.
North Indian recipe,not from Punjab but whole of the northern India owns this
@@77JAI it says PUNJABI PARATHA in the TITLE
@@77JAI north India is what u call 3 to 4 states meanwhile pak punjab is bigger than what u calk north India so stfu dude u had influence of punjab culture why cuzz whole north India as map in 1947 suggests was punjab now stop claiming punjabi food 😅😅 insecure 🍑🔥
I'll make these, but my spice blend is going to be... jarred garam masala. Because I'm in Eastern Europe, lol.
Just Green chille, cilantro, Ginger, chilli flakes,and salt still make it sooooo yum
Great sister..love and respect for you
Wow so nice!
I love eating mine with with sour cream ❤ another way to eat it is with a little bit of south Asian pickle. Mango pickle, lime pickle, mixed veg pickle, etc.
Sour cream in hindi is?
@@Rvj.12 lol, who knows but it is amazing with aloo paratha. I'm 50 and been eating it that way since I was little. My mom did it, and I think it might have been an influence from the European potatoes and sour cream combo.
I don’t know why but I always find it so funny when ATK pulls out a ruler while cooking haha
I'm a pastry chef and if I can't find my ruler, I'm paralyzed
@@Sweetthang9 Not sure if that's sarcastic or not, but it makes way more sense in a professional kitchen than it does when you're cooking at home. If a recipe ever told me a rule was necessary to make, I would not make that recipe.
@@entertainment6871 Why?
@@Sweetthang9 Mainly because it's just an extra step, and probably an extra utencil to clean. try to minimize the amount of thinking I have to do while cooking, and a pulling out a ruler is not conducive to easy cooking.
I love it! I'm just a homecook, but when making something for the first time, it's nice to have some parameters.
something i learnt making at age 14 but it never gets old.. ugh! but i'm just happy that you guys tried and liked something that is staple and every Sunday breakfast for us! haha.. thanks chefs for making it more special! ❣
hahaha i haven't seen Julia being this happy in tasting for a while
