Aloo Paratha Recipe

When Nupar announced the theme for July is Less is More I was pity excited, the more exciting part is the Logo of the event which looks so warm, fresh and wonderful. At least for the sake of the logo I had to participate in the event.

If there is nothing at home or one doesn’t feel like cooking much and still want something good to eat then I guess the answer is Aloo Paratha and that’s what we did. As Srivalli has freshly done the roundup of Roti Mela (an amazing round one must say), I quickly browse through the blogs of various people for aloo paratha and found one simple yet very nice recipe. I have few version of making aloo paratha and Anitha’s was similar to what I had in my mind.
