Mix Veg Parantha

Parantha/ Paratha is very popular North Indian Breakfast meal specially in Punjab. Parantha is an amalgamation of the words parat and atta which means layers of cooked dough.

It is one of the most famous popular unleavened flat breads in the northern part of India and is made by pan frying the whole wheat dough on tawa/ griddle. The parantha usually contains ghee or cooking oil which is also layered on the freshly prepared parantha. Paranthas are usually stuffed with boiled potatoes, leafy vegetables, cauliflower, cottage cheese/ panner, radish, onions.
