Minty Aloo paratas

Aloo Parathas are my all time favourite...it remindes me of amma's ( mom)"Batata chapati " hot off the tava and I got to eat them right in the kitchen- now that is a nostalgic memory of amma's cooking.I just love the soft ,delicate and moist Aloo Parathas ,which goes well with anything or simple thick curd is my all time favorite combination.
