Aloo Paratha

There are several different types of parathas that are found across the nation. Paratha is an amalgamation of the words 'Parat' and 'atta'. This literally means layers of cooked dough. In India 'Paratha' is one such item that is popular across the subcontinent with local variations from various different regions. Hope you like the information.😊
