Aloo Stuffed Ajwain Paratha is an easy paratha that you can make for your breakfast or pack for lunch. With just curds and pickle, this tastes very good. The ajwain in the paratha gives a fantastic aroma and taste to the parathas.
I regularly pack some stuffed parathas for Konda's breakfast or lunch. This time made it with ajwain added to the paratha. With exams going on, I hardly pack for their lunch as they come home. However, this dish is suitable for any meal. This might be the last of the series I might be showcasing of Konda's Lunch or Breakfast as her exams have started and she will not be carrying food to school. Days surely fly and Kids seem to grow up so quickly!
This is for my Kid's Delight event, guest hosted by PJ themed on Quick / Innovative Breakfast. I must thank PJ for this lovely theme as I surely enjoyed it.
