Knead a smooth dough with the ingredients listed.

After 15 minutes, divide the dough into medium sized balls.
Roll each ball into a small disc.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the potato methi mix on it.
Bring the edges to the centre by pinching the sides and press well to cover it up properly.
Now roll gently to a larger sized disc or just pat with your hands as you rotate it.
Heat a tawa or a griddle on medium flame.
Place this aaloo paratha on it. Smear some ghee or butter on top and drizzle some on the sides too.
Keep the flame on low to medium.
After 2 minutes flip it over and cook for 2 more minutes.

Do not hurry. Otherwise parathas might not cook well or get burnt too.
Serve hot with loads of butter on top alongside raita and pickle.
