I made these last night, and they were great! I used AP flour and stuffed them with a bean filling. Great, easy, and not at all time-consuming like some people said. Simple, easy, delish and even better reheated. Thanks!

I made the mistake of making these things today. You see, I’m not the fastest person in the kitchen. Usually, recipes take a bit longer than normal for me. This one, though, was complete hell.

From start to finish, pretending that it is finished, which it’s not, it’s taken me THREE HOURS to do these. The worst part is, they didn’t even turn out right. Those “raw” bits you’re supposed to avoid were completely inevitable; the dough is folded on itself. So there was a bit of gumminess. When I made the dough, the yield was hardly comparable to the picture; mine was absolutely tiny. Then when I made the potatoes, there was enough for two recipes’ worth of dough, which I did not have. They taste good, except for the gummy nature and thinness of the bread, but it was definitely not worth it for me. The whole experience was incredibly frustrating. And I have a huge pile of dishes to do, too. Ugh.

(That is, of course, to say nothing against the blog; it’s my cooking ability that’s at fault. I intend to try other things, like the blueberry grunts, later. No more tricky Indian food for me.)

I could not wait to try these. Which mean that I had to substitute some ingredients. I used white whole wheat flour and sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes.

They still puffed up! I jumped up and down and waved my spatula in the air. The spices were wonderful as well. Next time I’ll add more filling for more yumminess.

Brilliant recipe. Very easy to make despite the number of steps involved. Cheers!

I love Deeba/passionate baker’s comment. Smoked cottage cheese! The blog isn’t called ‘vegan yum yum’ for no reason. What a tit.

loved the final outcome of the aloo parathas, however i dont think that parathas should puff up.It just points the fact that the proportion of the stuffing to the dough is incorrect…i.e. there is room for more stuffing.its nice to have little bubbles but not the complete puff up as u have shown above.

However, its the rotis that should puff up on its final turn…ideally the puff u have shown.

I was wandering around the internet looking for some inspiration for a cake shoot my neighbor was asking me to do for her tonight and the very first site I came across was yours. The best part besides how awesome your pictures and instructions on how to get great results; your site is vegetarian!! I’ve definitely bookmarked and plan to try several of your recipes! (which I’ve only just begun to browse..) This particular recipe has me the most excited so far because I’ve looked and searched for flat bread and flat bread recipes but they’re not vegetarian friendly. Thank you so much for the time and effort you’ve poured into your site. Very nicely done!

I made these for lunch to accompany a carrot dahl soup, they were great. All 4 of my kids ate them. Thank you so much for the recipe! To retain extra flavour and nutririon I baked the potatoes in their skins before peeling them, also I omitted oil and salt from the dough (I had a Pakistani friend who used only atta and water for her flatbreads.) I think the oil coating the resting dough was sufficient. I did not have garam masala so I used plain ground coriander instead, still yummy!

IMHO, Indians make the tastiest vegan food in the world… please give us some more Indian-themed recipes! It must be hard it you don’t like garlic though :-)
