Methi Aloo Paneer Stuffed Paratha is a healthy stuffed paratha made with fresh methi leaves with aloo and paneer. With spices added, this makes a delicious lunch box dish.
We mostly make these stuffed parathas for weekends, however, I also pack these for Konda's lunch box as it's easy to handle and eat. These parathas are a wonderful option to make.
I mostly make about 2 to 3 numbers, it's easy to get the whole cooking done within 30 mins, and to pack for kids for their Lunch Box Dishes In 30 Minutes.
