I made the aloo parathas and they came out real delicious. The only thing I did differently was added finely chopped garlic with the onions while saut?ed. I served the same with Doshi and green coconut chutney. Ah! So delicious.

Hi Neetu, Make sure when you make parathas, cook them on a medium flame, and apply ghee evenly all over so that it remains soft, even after it is cooked, and cool them completely and pack in an air-tight tiffin box.
