1/4cupgrated carrots
2tspfinely chopped green chillies
4tablespoonsfresh curdsyogurt

Instructions
Mix all the ingredients (including the oil) and knead into a soft dough - If you find the dough a bit sticky, dust some extra flour to make it smooth. Keep dough aside for 10minutes
Divide into 8 equal portions and roll into round parathas or you can use a cookie cutter & cut into interesting shapes. Keep them a little thicker than chapathis
Heat a tawa and place the paratha on it & cook on slow flame till it is golden brown on both sides
To make the parathas soft, always fry on slow heat & brush with a little oil or ghee.
Serve hot - they are delicious when eaten plain, with cheese spread, mayonnaise or the authentic way - with pickle or fresh curd.
