i tried these parathas but they were very difficult to make because of the water which was coming out of the carrots and making it difficult to roll and was messy. taste was good but ... i think if they are directly mixed in the folur and made, it will be easy.

Delicious taste, but I was not sure how thick the finished parathas should be and ended up with them a little too thick and doughy. I will cook them again, armed with the info to make them thinner!

These parathas are absolutely marvelous. they taste wonderful by themselves, but go with just about any indian dish I choose to prepare. the flavor is a delicious, subtle and surprising mix. also, not hard to make at all as most parathas are not difficult.
