Punjabi Aloo Parathas / Dhaba Style Aloo Parathas

Dhaba Style aloo parathas is a simple, easy with a stepwise picture.. which is a popular dish in punjab named as Punjabi aloo parathas / Dhaba style aloo parathas taste slightly spicy, tangy and has a hint of sourness..

Potato filling makes a big different in flavour and tasing of parathas... I also added chat masala which percks up the flavour.. The tawa should be hot while cooking the parathas with ghee or oil and the parathas must be cooked properly while you see the crispy brown spots on the top of the parathas...
