No matter how much we indulge in pizzas and pasta, our hearts are always going to yearn for paratha. This Indian bread is exceptionally delicious and versatile. And, it is super easy to make. That's why Indian households have taken it up with such generosity. While the simple paratha can win any heart, it's always a good idea to add more ingredients to it in order to add flavour and cut the monotonous taste. Many of us like spicy food.
