Have you ever tried making mint paratha? If not, do give a try to it. They are aromatic and refreshing. The smell of mint leaves can never be locked, it spills everywhere. No need of any accompaniment, you can serve it with curds and pickle.

Last year, I was going through Tarla Dalal vegetarian cook book and it was then I found this mint paratha. Since then, I have made it many times.

    A good idea to add chopped mint to a paratha dough. I sometimes have too much mint around that gets spoilt in no time. Next time before the mint goes bad will borrow your idea of making flavorful mint paratha.
