This healthy jowar aloo paratha is a soft, flavourful flatbread filled with lightly spiced mashed potatoes. Made with nutrient-rich jowar flour, it’s ideal for a nutritious breakfast or meal. Quick to make and packed with taste, it stays soft and pairs beautifully with yoghurt, pickles, or chutney.
In a mixing bowl, combine jowar flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead until the dough becomes soft and pliable. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes. Resting improves elasticity and ensures the parathas stay soft while rolling.

Step 2: Mash the potatoes
Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them thoroughly until smooth. Add finely chopped green chillies, cumin seeds, red chilli powder, garam masala, chopped coriander, and salt. Mix everything well to create a balanced, flavourful potato filling. Proper seasoning ensures every bite is tasty.

Step 3: Divide the dough and filling
Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls for uniform parathas. Similarly, divide the potato filling into portions that match the dough balls. This step helps make rolling easier and ensures evenly sized stuffed parathas.

Step 4: Stuff the parathas
Take a dough ball and flatten it slightly with your palms. Place a portion of the potato filling in the centre and bring the edges together to seal it completely. Gently shape it back into a ball. Proper sealing prevents the filling from oozing out during rolling or cooking.

Step 5: Roll the parathas
Lightly dust the stuffed dough ball with some jowar flour. Roll it gently into a circular shape, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Remember not to press too hard, or the filling may spill. Rolling evenly ensures consistent thickness for soft cooking.

Step 6: Cook in a skillet and serve
Heat a skillet or tawa on medium flame. Place the rolled paratha on it and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until you see light golden spots. Flip and cook the other side, brushing lightly with oil or ghee. Cook until both sides have a soft, golden texture. Remove the paratha from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Serve immediately, while warm, to enjoy soft, fluffy, and flavourful parathas. Pair with yoghurt, chutney, or pickle for a complete, satisfying meal.
