Veg Paratha

Being most popular breakfast in Northern part of India, I consider it to be healthier and tastier than aloo paratha. We can reduce usage of potatoes and substitute it with different vegetables making it a wholesome breakfast. Feel free to add any other vegetables as you like.

7. Then add the mashed vegetables, mix well, turn off the stove and add lemon juice. Sprinkle coriander leaves.
8. Now make balls of dough and let the balls of stuffing be double in size.
9. Roll out each dough to about 3" in diameter, place the stuffing in the centre and cover it with dough.
10. Use some dry flour and roll out the stuffed dough such that centre part still has the stuffing.
11. Fry it on a griddle using oil/ghee and serve it hot with curd or pickle.
