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 what 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.
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
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?
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"
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 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 😂😂😂
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)
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. 😃
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.

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.
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
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
@@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
Never in a million years did I think, I will be watching this on America's Test Kitchen 😂😂
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😅
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 🙂
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
This looks awesome. As a potato lover, I love seeing how other cultures use the spud.
Adding a pinch of turmeric to those potatoes takes it to next level
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
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)
Slightly crispy Aloo Prathas with mixed pickle and curd is heaven.
And Lassi aftermath.
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 !
😂😂😂😂
Come to DESI punjab villages to experience real taste of PARATHA.
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.
My father chuckled when you used the ruler. Eyeballing is a go-to way for all kinds of asian cuisines
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
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.
we need a lot more indian dishes featured on this channel
This is absolutely the number one aluporatha in the world.❤❤❤❤
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.
Looks great. Erin's delivery is neat and easy to follow.
Awesome! Can't wait for ATK to make dosas!
Nothing beats a piping hot aloo paratha with a dollop of butter melting over its crispy crust. 💥💥💥
Excellent outcome, you folks are great.... being Indian from India 😊 i wholeheartedly approve this!!!
These Aloo Paratha look yummy gotta try soon, thanks for this recipe!!
Who needs non veg food when there are so many veg indian dishes❤
Proud of my mom for not going so technical and make them taste so good
You have dehealthified a reasonably healthy breakfast
They replaced pickle with salad 😂
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 that you use the Indian names for spices! Respect!
no matter how many times we see different recipes to get that authentic paratha, nothing will match the same taste to the dhabaas
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?
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.
It's nice to see Americans trying their hand at Indian cooking. There is one thing that I would like to point out - when you use all purpose flour for making paratha then it's called as a kulcha. To make parathas, whole wheat flour is used instead.
Thank you. This is how you make it the Punjabi way💗
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
Traditionally, we use whole wheat flour to make parathas.
Wow, that looks so delicious great recipe yummy yummy 😋😋👍🏼👍🏼
Wow great looks pretty . taste good
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.
That looks good especially for a change.
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!
❤ from my india 🇮🇳
Awesome
For non Indians her, just ask your Indian friend for Alu Paratha. He/She would be more than happy to make them for you
In India most of the time to cook the potatoes the pressure cooker is used. It takes less time & you need not to cut the potatoes in pieces. Happy to see you trying food other than American food. Rolling Pin ( in Hindi Belan, & in Marathi Latan) is used which is more comfortable to use than that big wooden roller.
Very impressive! I will try this tomorrow! Thank you.
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.
hahaha i haven't seen Julia being this happy in tasting for a while
u cooked very gently aloo paratha lots of love from India 🇮🇳
This is my childhood favourite. And you made it beautifully ❤
Looks delicious 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love for alu paratha has no borders.
Beutiful Aloo Paratha Resipi
Love the way it is done so precisely over there..
Terlihat sangat lezat, saya menyukainya
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
it looks absolutely delicious... the color, the texture, the thickness... perfect ... AND the GHEE ... oooo la la ...
Erin I must appreciate your efforts.Aloo paratha is made for breakfast.served with pickle & curd .It seems you like India Food .Keep going ❤❤
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
It's not just from Punjab
Paratha is from panjab
@@OkOfficial400 no , parantha origins is across north India and no do document can pin point a specific region where it originated from ,
Enjoyed my alu parantha in Punjab india
Ya really looking delicious 😮🤤
"There's many different versions of Alu Parathas" @0:22
...and many people here are going to complain anyway about how they personally make it a different way and that ATK is incorrect
They preempt the complaints but it seems to happen anyway on every video making ethnic food without fail unfortunately
Gimme all of them, I'm not sure anyone could make a bad aloo paratha!
Krish Ashok in his wonderful book on the chemistry behind Indian cooking ("Masala Lab") said that if someone rags on you that "your" version of ANY Indian dish is NOT authentic that you have his permission to punch them in the head. He also has a super-entertaining RUclips channel that deals with really stupid food myths.
Not just "ethnic foods"...
As a Pakistani who had the chance to spend over two years living in India, this is frustrating. I see Americans who are so obsessed with getting things exactly right in their mind and being food police that they end up frozen in fear. Food and home cooking now seem inaccessible. ATK empowers people to plan fresh ideas for weeknight dinners that bring families together, keep food costs lower and bring salt and sugar intake in check (fast food is the cause of all the blood pressure and diabetes issues- not home cooking). I have found that the foodie purists are often eating frozen dinners or from a drive through.
@@ABlueDahliacorrect. Sortedfood made a pancake video not too long ago and Americans ripped them for using egg white as leavener. Most of these commenters grew up on Betty Crocker's pancake mix
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.
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 👏
Potato paratha or only paratha is good for breakfast....🎉🎉
Itna technically Paratha aj tak nhi dekha😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Your next Turkish dish recipe might be Hünkarbeğendi. 🤤😉
Perfection!
For those who wants to make , it's okay to do your own version like if you want simple then you can do without spices just with paper and salt and little bit of turmeric and if possible ginger garlic paste or even powder and ofcourse cumin. Without resting. Don't think much about measures 😅.
(536) YUM. Love a stuffed paratha.
Those hit ..... delicious...
Aloo paratha with salty tomato chutney 🤤🤤 childhood memories ❤❤❤
I love aalu paratha... its the ultimate breakfast meal , or anytime should food.
Green chilli is better in paratha instead of red chilli
It is nice to see Indian recipes appearing in ATK. But you could have asked Kaumudi and Meera to make the recipe - it would have been more authentic - and ATK has to be practical about measurements - what is eight and third oz of flour and half cup and one tablespoon of water ? Wouldn't it be nice to say 250 gms of flour and half cup of water to start with and add as needed - who has the time to measure id precise ozs like this - just say in cups or grams - wouldn't that be easy for all - Please ATK
the most perfection cooking
Heartwarming to see both the ladies being very respectful and open ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Serving with a fruit jam is also a classic!
It has nothing to do with Punjab 😂
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!
Wow so nice!

Why are you people so machenical i mean its just a pranthaa 😂😂😂
अमेरिकन लोग 😂😂😂
❤🎉bohat dil khush Hua k British lady Pakistani cultural food banana Sikha rehi he.very very nice
Pakistani food Jaisa Kuch nahi hota
😂😂😂😂
Great job! It's one of the best Indian recipes I've seen from a Western channel in terms of being authentic and tasty.
. . . . . . .
P.S. However, the "True-Blue" "Punjabi Dhabas" along the expressways in North-India serve these with an extra "bowl" of ghee/butter - and they'd refill it as many times as you require. 😆
