Chilli Parotta (Paratha)

Parotta (or paratha), as we call it down south, has to be one of the most popular items in restaurants. Both kids and adults love it. If you are stuck with frozen paratha’s like me, you could try this quickly instead of having plain parathas. All you need is a few vegetables you will find in your fridge anyway.
