Aloo Paratha / Potato stuffed Parathas

I dont know why I have become so lazy these days.I have noticed that its been long that I have posted some recipe in my little space. I have seen many of my fellow bloggers are posting almost every alternate day, which is not possible for me at all !!

Whenever I think of posting something, my mind will be interested in something else and so it goes on. So today I have decided that come what may, I have to post 5- 6 recipes in a month (even though there are readers or not… :) )

Today’s yummy recipe is a breakfast dish which will be loved by all and I think is most frequently made dish. Aloo paratha is one of our favorite breakfast thingy, but not made very frequently because of all the calorie worries !! We can also add chat masala, coriander leaves and little aam chur powder for a slight tangy taste. I didn’t add all these as we like it this way. Initially when I tried making this, all the stuffing used to come out, but later on slowly I managed to make it perfectly. I hope you will enjoy this…

2. Red Chilli Powder- 1 tbsp
