Aloo paratha, a soft flatbread stuffed with spiced potato, is one of the most loved breakfasts in North India. Making it from scratch takes time: boiling, mashing, seasoning, stuffing and rolling. A frozen pack gives you the same comfort food in minutes.
This guide explains how to cook Armaan Aloo Paratha from frozen, what’s in it, and what to serve with it.
Aloo means potato. An aloo paratha is a whole wheat flatbread filled with mashed potato and spices, then cooked on a griddle (tawa) until golden. It’s usually eaten with yoghurt, butter and pickle, and it works for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a packed lunch.
Pack: 4 parathas, 400g in total
Described as: a traditional soft flatbread stuffed with potatoes and rich Indian spices
Suitable for vegetarians
No added preservatives
Made in India, with the quality marks listed on the pack: ISO 22000, BRC and HACCP
What’s inside: the main ingredients are wheat flour (33%), potatoes (32%) and water (24%), followed by sunflower oil (5%) and onion (3%). The spice blend includes cumin, coriander, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, star anise, red chilli and turmeric, along with coriander leaves, ginger, green chilli, salt and dry mango. It also contains raising agents (E500, E521, E339).
These are the instructions printed on the pack. Cook from frozen. Don’t thaw first.
Pre-heat a non-stick pan or griddle (tawa).
Place the frozen paratha on the pan.
Cook on a medium flame for about 2–3 minutes, turning every 30 seconds and pressing gently, until both sides are golden brown.
Apply butter or oil while heating, to improve the taste and texture.
Remove from the pan and serve hot.
Medium heat is best. If the pan is too hot, the outside browns before the middle warms through.
Turn often. Flipping every 30 seconds gives an even golden colour.
Press gently. This helps the paratha cook evenly.
Add butter or ghee at the end. It gives flavour and a glossy, crisp finish.
Serve straight away. Parathas are best hot off the pan.
Plain yoghurt (dahi) or a simple raita
Butter melting on top
Pickle: a spoonful of mango or lemon pickle is the classic partner
Green chutney or a little ketchup for children
Masala chai on the side
For a bigger meal, serve with a chickpea curry or a simple dal.
