Stuffed parathas are always loved by everyone at home. We make aloo paratha very frequently and many times I pack for lunch box too. Very long back I saw Horse gram stuffed paratha on my Instagram feed. I tried that at home and everyone liked it. We South Indians make Rasam. podi and chutney using Horse gram dal.
I added simple available spices in the kitchen to make the filling of the paratha. You can pair this paratha with a pickle or a simple raita too.
