Vegetable Paratha Recipe -- How to make Vegetable Paratha

Hi, Thank you, friends and viewers. Today I will post how to make vegetable paratha recipe.
Vegetable paratha, packed with the goodness of all vegetables.
I made these parathas very unexpectedly. Last Sunday Chandra packed Frankies for dinner on the train to kids and herself, some boiled vegetables were leftover. I refrigerated them, after she left for Bangalore. Forget about them at all. The second day home alone feeling bored..open the fridge to cook something for dinner..which I would like to simplify. But, found these boiled vegetables. Instead of making something a fresh I thought of making the best use of them. So tasty vegetable parathas came into being. Of course, I have added some onions and masalas to it. Mashed the vegetables well, sauteed chopped onions and added spices, stuffed this in the parathas -- made a nice, tasty masala vegetable parathas. We can add any number and varieties of vegetables and also paneer, cheese.
It seems I have made quite a big note of the procedure, but it is not.
