These parathas have no taste.They just look pretty…what to complement them with?
Hi Siddha
These are just healthy chapatis (not parathas) where vegetable (spinach and beetroot) puree is used to knead the dough instead of water. So enjoy these veg chapatis with any gravy dish of your choice as you would with regular chapatis.
