Hot paratha s with pickle and raita yummm this is my all time favorite meal. I have a friend Sweatha she is from Bihar Whenever I go to her place she used to make hot hot parathas for me. I can manage but cannot make paratha s like her. She used to make lot of variations in filling. Missing you sweatha.:(..
