I only made this for the first time a few weeks ago and I am so obsessed with it, I've made it 3 times! Everyone I've made it for as absolutely loved it! ~ Nagi
It is my favorite recipe and often used to make it at home when alone. What is a Punjabi aloo paratha and how that is different from this? Looking forward for more recipes.
