Aloo Paratha

A paratha is an Indian Flat Bread. It is made by pan frying wheat flour on tava. Parathas are stuffed with vegetables like potato, cauli-flower, radishes and paneer. The paratha can be round or square or triangular. The stuffing is kept in the middle and the flatbread is closed around the stuffing like an envelope. It is usually served with yogurt and pickle. It is a staple breakfast for a large number people in India. But, parathas don't go well with high oil content foods such as curries. Make a wholesome meal with this special Indian Bread.
