Bhujiya Paratha, Aloo Bhujia Paratha
by Tarla Dalal
Here’s a meal that combines the zesty appeal of aloo bhujiya with the guaranteed satisfaction of having a paratha. In this innovative recipe, a mixture of aloo bhujiya, juice veggies and spice powders is used as a stuffing for satiating parathas.
The perfectly cooked parathas have an exciting mouth-feel that includes the mild crunch of bhujiya. In order to enjoy this vibrant texture, you need to serve the parathas immediately after preparation, else they will turn soggy and chewy.
You can have this plain or with a cup of curds. Take care to add very little salt in the stuffing mixture as aloo bhujia is already salty.
You might also enjoy other parathas like the Cheese Paratha and Mooli Paratha .
