Carrot Paratha

I am back to blogging marathon, after few months break. The theme I have selected is stuffed breads. So for the next 3 days, you are going to see some stuffed breads here. Today's recipe is Carrot Paratha. Since I wanted kids to eat it, kept it simple with less spices. They all loved it.
