This paratha is made in a different style.. somewhat like a lachha paratha.. It is slightly difficult to roll.. but if you follow the exact proportion of the veggies, its not that difficult.. The spices provides flavour and veggies give a nice crunch..!

Tried the recipe & it turned out awesome. Rolling is bit difficult job. But taste wise it gets full marks. Good paratha option which requires very little preparation time.
