Aloo parantha is the standard North Indian breakfast bread. Boiled potato is mashed and seasoned with green chilli, ginger, coriander, ajwain and salt, then sealed inside a ball of whole wheat dough. The parcel is rolled out flat and cooked on a hot tawa, turned repeatedly and finished with butter or ghee until both sides are freckled and golden.
The bread stays soft and a little chewy with a crisp surface, and the filling keeps it moist all the way through. It is traditionally eaten with yogurt, pickle and butter rather than a curry, which is what makes it such an easy morning plate. If you want breakfast with more on the plate, chole bhature is the bigger Punjabi option, and the Junoon Thali turns it into a full meal.
Aloo parantha comes from our Breakfast section and is served for dine-in at Cafe Junoon in Cornerstone at 110 Corner Meadows Manor NE, for takeout on the way to work, and for local delivery to nearby Northeast Calgary communities such as Skyview Ranch, Redstone, Cityscape, Saddle Ridge, Savanna, Martindale and Taradale. We are open 7 days a week and the kitchen is 100% vegetarian. Paranthas are easy to scale for a morning catering order — contact us to arrange one, browse the menu, or add paneer butter masala and samosa chaat for later in the day.
