Aloo paratha is a popular breakfast food made by stuffing flatbread with seasoned potatoes before cooking it on a pan with oil or ghee. While it is delicious and filling, it can contain more calories than a regular paratha due to the potato filling and cooking fats.

A medium aloo paratha typically contains between 300 and 450 calories.
