In a mixing bowl add salt, sugar and combine well till the sugar grain dissolve.
Then add flour and egg in this water and give a mix.
Knead a medium soft dough by gradually adding the water.
When the dough come to a shape add ghee in it and knead again. This will develop elasticity in the dough and paratha will become crispy.
Knead the dough again. Cover it with a cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Now prepare the potato filling for paratha.
In a pan add cooking oil or ghee and heat it on medium flame.
Add chopped onion in it and fry it till the onion become golden brown.
Add ginger garlic paste in it, saute for few seconds.
Add little water in this masala so it may not burn. Fry this masala for 1-2 minutes.
Now add chili flakes, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric and salt.
Add some water and fry the masala. Cook this masala on medium flame for 7-8 minutes.
When the masala starts to release the oil and water dries out add boiled and mashed potatoes in it.
Give a good mix to everything and turn off the heat.
Take out potatoes in another bowl.
Add chopped green chilies, cumin seeds in this masala and mix everything.
Let the masala completely cool down.
_______________ For preparing Paratha _____________
Divide the dough into small balls (pera). Cover thesze and rest for 10 minutes.
Take a ball of dough and roll it into small size of roti (bread). Dust some flour on the work surface so it may not stick.
Grease it with some oil and fold all the sides of paratha into a square shape. Do this with complete dough.
Again dust some flour on work surface and roll the dough in a small size roti.
Add the prepared filling in it and fold it like a kachori (as shown in the video) from all sides. make sure all the sides are fully sealed.
Now gently roll the paratha in the size of your choice.
Meanwhile heat a tawa (frying pan) on medium heat.
Put the rolled paratha on this hot tawa and let it cook for few minutes.
Turn the side of paratha. Let it cook from the other side too.
Brush some ghee on the cooked side of paratha and flip it. Do the same process with the other side. Make sure it may not burn.
Crispy, layered and easy aloo paratha is ready. Serve with achar or mint raita.
__________ Note: I do not have fresh mint and coriander available at the time of making this recipe so I skipped it. But make sure you add these in your potato stuffing as this will boost the flavors to another level.

I experienced that cooking doesn't need to be threatening. I didn't figure out how to cook as a child. No treats or cakes with Grandma. Never helping mother cook meals. I needed to learn as a grown-up, due to legitimate need. I needed to figure out how to cook. So I just began cooking. It was unpleasant from the outset. I attempted to sear garlic, and everything turned green. It was one Pinterest fall flat after the other until I at least began to get its hang. For some time, I; despised cooking feared it with each fiber of my being. And one day; I, began anticipating it. I would be at my work area and begin pondering what I could make for supper. I began to get amped up for evaluating new plans, concocting something all alone, or utilizing new fixings. It got fun. Also, that is something I need to impart to you. Cooking is fun and energizing, and regardless of whether you think you will suck at it, recall, even I can cook.
