Pudina Paratha Recipe / Mint Paratha Recipe

Pudina Paratha Recipe is a scrumptious healthy Indian paratha made from mint (pudina) and few spices. Paratha can be made with anything; it will taste great as usual. I had some mint leaves lying in fridge, so I thought of make paratha with it. Mint has an aroma that cannot be locked up! Added to the dough, this pundina paratha is quite a treat. They can also be packed for lunch, or even a longer trip.
