Aloo Paratha

Do you know the difference between chapatti and Paratha? Chapatti's are made without oil (usually we apply some ghee or oil after taking it off the pan) whereas Paratha's are cooked with oil on the pan. Potatoes are all-time favourite vegetable. And we get it anytime anywhere. Aloo paratha is one of my favourite. So take a look at this fabulous paratha recipe...
