ALOO PARATHA
As you see in the picture, i made small disc shaped and triangular pocket shaped aloo parathas to make it interesting and tempting for my fussy 5 yr old.
If rolling with a roller is difficult, try pressing with your fingers to make a circle. Finger pressed aloo parathas would give an amazing grill marks on parathas.
