Chef’s Tips
- Adding sweetness: Add finely grated carrots to the filling to enhance sweetness and flavor.
- Flour variations: You can use multigrain flour for a more fiber-rich dough or try adding a bit of chickpea flour for extra protein.
- Spice it up: Add more green chilies or red chili powder to make the paratha spicier.
- Vegan option: Replace ghee with vegetable oil for a vegan version.
