ALOO PARATHA

Guess what i made yesterday in mykitchen .Yes,Aloo da parantha.

That's what the Punjabi's say.

This is one of my favourite north indian dishes.

Hubby dear likes it too.

Most of the punjabi dishes has its unique taste of butter or ghee.

All Punjabi dishes like Makkai ki roti,Sarson da sag,Rajma,channa,Kali dal,Chilla etc has a mouth watering flavour of the typical punjabi masalas and desi ghee.

The aroma and the lingering taste of my special aloo parantha made me write this article today.
