ALOO KASURI METHI PARATHA, ALOO METHI PARATHA

When you eat the same stuff everyday, you feel bored. Especially, during summer, you don't feel like eating. You always wants to  drink something cold, have ice cream etc.  

When I asked my daughter what you want to eat, she said "Kuch Acha" that is the patent dialogue of my son and daughter.  I told her to be specific and she said Aloo methi paratha.  Since I did not have methi readily available with me, I used Kasuri methi instead of fresh methi leaves.  So don't worry next time when you want to make Aloo methi paratha and don't have fresh methi, use kasuri methi leaves.

Let us look at the recipe now:
