Alu Paratha Mashed Potato Stuffed Bread
Hot stuffed parathas! A breakfast favorite in the northern parts of india. This simple yet tasty bread has evolved quite a lot since the old days. Clarified butter or 'ghee' was the cooking medium of choice in the past, but the weight watchers brigade has replaced it with the lighter vegetable oil. The stuffing used in the parathas has also seen many changes in recent times. From the very classic mashed potato to the now popular minced chicken or egg. Changes or not, stuffed paratha still remains the top breakfast choice for most indians, after all there is nothing like gorging on these beauties on a lazy sunday morning.
