I tried Makhana Paratha for todays breakfast.I added all spices just like we make methi paratha and it turned out so soft and flavourful.Though makhana’s flavour was very mild that I could hardly find out any difference,the parathas were very soft.I am buying phool makhana(lotus seeds) often these days as mittu has started to like it,she loves to munch on ghee roasted makhana with a drizzle o chat masala powder, perfect snack for evenings.
