Aloo methi paratha | How to make aloo methi paratha
Aloo methi paratha – One of the easy and tasty lunch box option especially for kids. With the goodness of methi leaves and potatoes, this dough is so soft and the chapathi retains its moisture until lunchtime which makes it feel fresh even after hours.
adding potatoes to the dough make it very soft and it needs very little water to make the dough. the moisture from potato and methi is enough to knead it soft. If needed just sprinkle little water and ghee.
one best combination that I always prefer for this paratha is my onion tomato chutney.
