A unique paratha with a Mexican touch that you will relish! Thankfully, this tasty treat is also quick and easy to make because all the ingredients are combined with the whole wheat flour in one shot to make the paratha dough, rather than the cumbersome process of stuffing them.

You will surely enjoy the crunch of veggies, and the tingling notes of spices and herbs, which are abundant in this Herbed Capsicum Paratha. Chop the capsicum finely, to make it easy to roll the parathas. Since very little oil is used in cooking these parathas , make sure you serve them immediately.

Diabetics are sure to enjoy this super tasty and healthy treat, which imparts an interesting international dimension to a routine meal, without taboo ingredients like maida and cheese.

Simply delicious. My husband hates capsicums but even he liked the parathas.

Loved these Mexican style parathas perked up with oregano and chilli flakes with some coloured capsicum. Moreover they taste great when cooked in minimal oil also. They are so yummy that when served off the tava, it doesn''t require any accompaniment.

This recipe is perfect to impress someone. MY mom likes these. I also made these for my (to be-) husband (then).. who now keeps demanding these on every little celebrations we have. The 2C combination of cheese and capsicum surprises your taste buds ending is pleasure and sounds of YUMM.
