Stuffed parathas are loved by all at home especially hubby who is not fond of chapathi also will eat stuffed parathas without any complaints.We(me and mittu) are crazy chapathi lovers so its a treat to us.Mittu prefers stuffed parathas for lunchbox and that way I sneak in many veggies which she doesn’t touch, am sure mothers of picky eaters will understand my pain.We had gobi paratha with boondi raita yum combo.I usually make gobi paratha this way but grating,sauteing and then stuffing is near to impossible during morning hrs especially now with the minion who wants to say hi to the world every now and then while napping 🙁 So I make this easy method of gobi paratha for packing mittu s lunchbox.This is a long pending post finally got time to edit the pictures.
