Aloo Mutter Paneer Stuffed Parathas

Submitted by crazy cook

"This stuffed parathas is one of our family favourites. Initially I used to make aloo paratas; later I started using paneer with aloo in the stuffing and then I came with the final variation of using mashed peas along with aloo and paneer. These are mildly spiced and are yummy with raitas and any pickle."
