ACHARI BESAN MASALA STUFFED PARATHAS / INDIAN FLAT BREAD STUFFED WITH GRAM FLOUR AND PICKLED SPICES


Everyone loves stuffed parathas as they make a complete meal on their own. All you need is some curd and pickle to go with them. We can try out endless fillings in them. Today I have made them with achari besan masala stuffing. They turned out very tasty.
 This recipe is for the event "Recipe Swap Challenge" that we have every alternate monthin a face book group. Two bloggers are paired and they have to make and share a recipe from each other's blog. My partner is Bhawana Singh of - Code2Cook ... This recipe is from her blog. Do visit her space and check out more recipes.
