This recipe is a super healthy breakfast / tiffin option for kids and your family. This is a combination of parantha and samosa but in a very different and healthy way. I used wholewheat flour for making base and made filling with aloo. Filling can be made with paneer, Chinese style
The crunchiness and aloo taste in this recipe will remind you of samosas.
