    Note

    1. Add red chili flakes as per choice. This quantity does not make this paratha spicy.
    2. You can add onion too. I did not add due to the shortage at the time of cooking.
    3. Any kind of vegetables will work to fill inside the paratha.
    4. For the dough, you can use only refined flour or whole wheat flour and any millet flour. This pizza filling enhances the flavor and so kids eat without a fuss. I find it a great way to feed healthy grains.
    5. Chop vegetables very fine, else it will be a difficult task to stuff.
