Bhujia Paratha is Sev Stuffed Paratha that has Sev mixed with spices and onions to make a delicious innovative paratha. Kids will simply love this one as it has the crunchy sev mixed with spices.
This paratha is surely a kid-friendly one as you have the delicious crunchy sev stuffed inside a paratha. You don't actually need a side dish for this, just a pickle and some curds on the sides would be more than enough. When I planned on making this, I wanted to complete another paratha which was on the same lines and will be coming up tomorrow.
So I think I was smart to make the same pickles for serving with these. However, if you thought I gave less work for myself, then no, I had to go and make those pickles the north Indian style so as to satisfy Hubby Dear. He is very particular about the pickles being the North Indian ones when I make stuffed parathas.
In the earlier years, when I was making stuffed parathas, I would always serve with south Indian style pickles. For many years he never said anything, finally opening up when we got a Rajasthani Pickle during one of the fairs we visited.
That's when he said he only likes North Indian pickles for stuffed parathas. Ever since then I have either make it myself or get that one. Since we are not big pickle consumers, the pickle stays on forever. To avoid this, I have ended up making smaller portions myself.
Today's Green Chili pickle is one such one from the cuisines of Rajasthan and we totally enjoyed the whole platter! For the Day 5 of Indian Flatbread, I have the Bhujia Paratha in the Bhujia Paratha Menu. I have another traditional one in C4AS.

These parathas are on my to do list for sometime now. They are some interesting ones. In my home, pickles disappear as if magic irrespective of whether they are South Indian or North Indian. Thanks to my husband. 🙂

The Bhujia has to last if we have to make parathas , right ? For us Bhujia gets used up very fast ! But yes I know that this is a very delicious paratha , I have tried it long long ago.
I like the spices that you have used , and the combo of pickles is excellent .
We are not very fond of pickles , but I eat them once in a while . It’s been years since I made one , all my friends send me a jar of different varieties , which is enough for a year. But at the same time would like to know your pickle recipes .

Very very flavorful and chatpata for sure. My husband is fond of pickles of any variety and he would love any or all the pickles for this kind of paratha.
Renu says
My daughter calls the barik sev as sprinklers :D. I would give this paratha a try with the barik sev, she might call it sprinkler paratha :-). Thanks for the recipe.

Interesting idea to use the sev as stuffing for the paratha. It looks so soft and with all those side dishes it is even more delicious. I can have them as such too.
