Top 4 parathas!

I love stuffed parathas, they are not only easy and quick to make but also quite satisfying and filling to eat, great comfort food. These can be enjoyed with raita, pickle, chutney or on its own. Also good for packed lunches and picnics as they can be prepared a bit ahead. Best to cook them in some homemade ghee but sunflower oil is a good substitute too.

So here are the fillings for my top 4 parathas.
