A lip-smacking paratha that is self-contained in terms of flavour! The Spicy Paratha stands apart because of the method of preparation.

A combination of spices, seeds and ginger are roasted and powdered to make an aromatic and flavourful masala, which is deftly layered inside the parathas while rolling.This gives the Spicy Paratha a unique texture and flavour, which is quite different from what you get by the common method of mixing spice powders into the dough.

Roasting enhances the aroma of the spices, making these Parathas absolutely irresistible. Enjoy it hot and fresh with a cup of curds.

Do try other tasty parathas like Mooli Dhania Parathas and Onion, Cheese and Pepper Parathas .
