I love recipes that use simple ingredients come together quickly and produce savory results. That’s why I love this traditional pakistani aloo roti recipe.
As the simple name suggests, Aloo paratha is a homemade flatbread stuffed with potatoes and spices as a filling. The base recipe makes it easy to mix in a variety of different toppings that suit your taste.you can also trying this taste recipe Keema Samosa

Traditionally, this dish is served with pickles and chilli sauce. You can also try it with a butter and yogurt.
