I love adding lot of onions, garlic and ginger in my food. I
always felt the aloo paratha in north restaurants were never interesting to me. Tried
making this south indian version and was a instant hit with my family, relatives.
Whenever my hubby’s relative prepare this , they say they prepared smitha’s aloo paratha.
Hiihihi.
