BREAD PARATHA

Varieties of Parathas are made by North Indian.   Hot parathas of any kind, is very tasty and liked by all.  I happened to have the aloo paratha soaked in ghee ( i mean a lot of ghee was put in while cooking the same)   along with Maa ki dal once when we went out in a Punjabi restaurant in a  Mall.  It was awesome minus the ghee which I could not digest as we use very less oil and ghee.  But those who are loving it that way, it is divine.

I made the bread paratha today because I had four slices of left over bread and was thinking what to do for the breakfast.  Since parathas are liked by my children very much, I decided to try this bread methi paratha and it was awesome with curd and sauce.
