For the paratha dough:

For the paratha stuffing:
- 3–4 boiled potatoes
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp oregano

Instructions of Cheese Burst Aloo Paratha
Step 1: Make the Dough
Take 3 cups of wheat flour in a big bowl.
Add 1 tsp salt and mix it well.
Now slowly add water and knead the flour into a soft dough. It should not be sticky.
Once it is smooth and soft, cover it and let it rest while you make the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Grate the boiled potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Grating makes the filling smooth.
Add ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp amchur powder, 1 tsp chilli flakes, and ½ tsp oregano.
Also, add 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander.
Mix everything nicely so the spices spread evenly through the potatoes.
Step 3: Stuff and Layer with Cheese
Take a small ball of dough and roll it into a small circle using a rolling pin.
Put 1-2 spoons of the potato stuffing in the center.
Now add a generous amount of grated processed cheese on top of the filling. You can freeze the cheese for 5–7 minutes before grating for better results.
Make sure the cheese spreads well over the potato mix.
Step 4: Seal and Roll the Paratha
Carefully lift the sides of the rolled dough and bring them together to seal the filling.
Pinch off any extra dough at the top and press it gently.
Dust a little flour and roll it again gently into a medium-sized paratha. Do not press too hard or the cheese might come out.
Keep the paratha medium thick so the stuffing stays inside.
Step 5: Cook the Paratha
Heat a tawa or pan on medium flame.
Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa and let it cook until bubbles start appearing.
Flip the paratha and drizzle some oil or ghee around the sides.
Flip again and spread butter on top. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Serve Hot and Enjoy
Remove the cooked paratha from the tawa and cut it into halves or quarters.
Serve hot with a dollop of butter on top.
You can enjoy it with curd, green chutney, or pickle.
This is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or kids' lunchboxes.
About the Recipe
This cheese burst aloo paratha recipe is just like your normal aloo paratha—but with a twist. The twist is in the stuffing. We are adding oregano, chili flakes, and lots of cheese.
We also make the dough like how my mother-in-law does. Her rotis are super soft, and she always says—get the water and flour ratio right! If you use 1 kg flour, then around 400 to 450 ml water is enough. But remember, all flours are different, so keep checking while kneading.
In this recipe, we use grated potatoes, but instead of onion and chili, we use oregano, chili flakes, coriander, and a little amchur and red chili powder. It gives the aloo a tasty lift!
After spreading the filling, we put lots of cheese on it. If you want the cheese to melt well, keep it in the freezer for 5-7 minutes before grating. This way it grates better and melts perfectly inside the paratha.
Then, we seal the paratha with another roti, roll it gently again, and cook it like any normal paratha. Use oil, butter, or ghee—anything you like.
When it’s done, cut it open and see that melty cheesy magic inside! Trust me, this is a perfect lunchbox idea or evening snack. Your kids will love it!
