Aloo Paratha

#Anniversary - Aloo Paratha is the simplest and the most favoured stuffed parathas enjoyed by one and all. It is a much preferred breakfast in most of the North Indian homes, especially in Punjab. It is also a common menu in all dhabas and in Indian restaurants worldwide. They can be enjoyed any time of the day. Wholesome and filling, they are a great lunch box meal too. Relish them hot along with butter, yogurt or pickles.
