Varieties of Aloo Paratha

There are a lot of different varieties of Aloo Paratha as it is such as versatile dish. Some of the popular ones are as follows:

1. Plain Aloo Paratha: It is the most basic and simple type of aloo paratha, that is made with mashed potatoes and spices stuffed inside a whole wheat flour flatbread.
2. Dhaba Style Aloo Paratha: This version of aloo paratha and the one we are making in this recipe, has a more spiced-up potato filling like plain aloo paratha and additional ingredients like chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, and coriander leaves.
3. Aloo Pyaaz Paratha: This type of aloo paratha is stuffed with a mixture of mashed potatoes and sautéed onions(Pyaaz), which gives it a unique flavor.
4. Paneer Aloo Paratha: In this variety of aloo paratha, we use paneer (Indian cottage cheese) mixed with potato filling, which adds a great and slightly tangy flavor to the paratha.
5. Mooli Palak Aloo Paratha: Mooli (radish) is grated and mixed with palak(spinach) potato filling to make this type of aloo paratha. It has a slightly spicy and crunchy texture. It is also very healthy.

These are some of the popular varieties of aloo paratha, but there are others too and it depends on the region and personal preferences.
