Roopa (KitchenAromas) said...

I want to roll up one of those parathas and gobble it up!

They look absolutely amazing. When I make any stuffed parathas, the stuffing doesn't seem to get distributed evenly! So I roll two layers separately and make a sandwich with the stuffing and roll it out

Cynthia said...

I LOVE aloo parathas and yours looks do darn good :)

TNL said...

Nice!!!! Maney toh aa lasan ni chutney saathey baahuj bhave!
