Dhaba Style Aloo paratha is an Indian flatbread that is stuffed with a delicious mixture made of potatoes and spices. Dhaba style aloo paratha recipe styles aloo paratha different from the regular aloo paratha recipe. It is tangier and spicier. This aloo paratha recipe shall remind you of the aloo paratha served on highway dhabas It is very flavorful and delicious.
I already have a recipe for Aloo Paratha on the blog and believe me, there are many more to come. The difference amongst the one already on the blog and this one and the ones to come is that of the ingredients. In this recipe, I have used dried pomegranate seeds. They give a nice kick to the paratha. Apart from that, I have used fennel seeds, whole coriander seeds and black peppercorns; which I had dry roasted and coarsely ground. All these ingredients give awesome flavors and the earthiness that Dhaba style paratha should have. For the bite, I have added chopped onions and to increase the heat some chopped green chilies have been added. It is needless to mention that for every perfect Parantha two things are very critical
1. Perfect dough
