Boiling Aloo
To boil aloo I have taken 4 big aloo which are enough to make 4 to 5 medium size parathas.
Put aloo in pressure cooker and add 2 cups of water in it. Now boil the aloo on medium-high flame untill 1st whistle and then lower the fame and boil for 5-7 minutes and then let it cool for 10-15 minutes. In the mean time we will make our dough for the paratha.

You should also add a little bit of oil as well while making dough.

Once your dough is ready then keep it to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Now as your aloo and dough is ready, its time to make filling for the paratha.
