Eating roti sabzi everyday gets a lil boring. Paranthas or theplas with the goodness of veges combined is a good way to get all your nutrients in one dish. You can make a variety of Paranthas using a plethora of veges to suit your individual taste. This recipe got me mixing the humble red pumpkin and carrot which is normally used in salads, to make my main dish. Besides giving a lovely colour to the paranthas, I got the added benefits of both the vegetables together!
